An Open Letter To My Unexpected Soulmate

"I didn't think it could be true, let alone that it would be you, I think I'm in love again." -- Kat Dahlia

An Open Letter To My Unexpected Soulmate
Holiday Makson

When I first saw you, I remember hoping that you would answer my message and that you wouldn’t be lame. Little did I know that only two short months later we’d be talking about our future and sharing our best and worst moments together.

I had a feeling that we would end up working out, but knowing I have an over-imaginative mind, I figured that was only wishful thinking, so I talked myself out of that. The night you first asked me if I wanted to meet, I was literally going to ask you the same thing when you texted me that. When we first met, I was nervous at first, but once I got in your car it all went away. Now, only knowing each other for six months, we are probably crazy in making plans for our future. But honestly, I am so crazy about you and it warms my heart any time you mention our days ahead. I definitely thought that I knew what love was a few years ago. And it definitely was nothing like how I feel for you.

You inspire me in every way to be a better person, a better Christian, a better girlfriend, whether it be to swear less, drink less, pray more or work more, just to name a few. There is not a thing about you that I don’t admire, and I don’t think you’ll ever realize those things even if I point them out. In the words of One Direction, “You’ll never love yourself half as much as I love you.”

Even after we spend the whole weekend together, I’m never really ready to let you go, and time and distance will only make that harder. So from here on out, let’s make the absolute best of our time together. Even when we’re a boring married couple, I never want to take our days together for granted. You truly show me what it’s like to be in a loving, healthy, God-centered relationship and for that, I’m endlessly thankful. I want to drive around aimlessly and end up in another state, read books, go on walks, watch movies, take naps, make dinner with you and every other random thing in between.

I love you more than I ever thought I would and I thank God every day that I have you. You truly are my silver lining and my very best friend.

Love,

Your Favorite Girl

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
