Hey it's me... three weeks later

An Open Letter To All Of My Unopened Messages
npr.com

First off, I would like to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not responding, or responding in a one worded, clearly disinterested tone. I'm sorry for being inattentive, I really do care.

It's not that I'm ignoring you or any of the sorts, though I know it must seem like that. I really do value your friendship and attempts of talking to me. I thank you a lot for taking the time out of your day to sit down, think of me, and send me a text. It really makes me feel valued.

As for not responding, again I'm sorry. I could sit here and type up a million reasons why I don't respond in a timely manner, but they would all seem like excuses. The most I can do wholeheartedly is apologize. I really do mean to respond and hold a conversation, but I become distracted. Distracted by work, by school, or I simply zone out. Life gets ahold of me and by the time that I process I didn't respond, it's way too late to respond. So it really is like I grab my phone, text someone, and throw it across the room. (See, sounds like an excuse).

Beyond that, there's also times I get caught up in my head. I end up isolating myself from everyone and the simple idea of talking to someone tosses me in a loop and I freak out. For that, I am sorry again. It's not that I don't want to talk to you, I promise. I just can't push myself to do it.

At the end of the day, I would like to reiterate that I sincerely am sorry for being the worst texter in the world. I'm working on improving my texting skills, so please work me with. Also, again, thank you for dealing with my horrible texting and I do appreciate it.

Your friend,
Amber

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.

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.
