I had the boy and you got the man

I bet he's pouring you a glass of wine right now reminding you of how beautiful you are. Reassuring you that you're the only one for him. That he has never felt the type of love that he feels for you with anyone else. I bet you feel secure yet, anxious and excited about the future and potential that the two of you have. I bet you look at him like you've never looked at another man. I bet you love him like you've never loved before. When he walks into the room, no one else exists but him. He is your light, your best friend, your teacher, your lover and your future. He is everything you ever hoped for in a partner.

I've been there - I have felt those exact feelings at one time. He was the only one that existed in a room while everyone else was blurred. He was the love I always knew that I wanted. He was my best friend, my rock, my partner and my future. I was always reminded of how loved I was. How strong we were as a unit. He was my Friday night date, my exciting Saturday and my lazy Sunday. We had a rare love. We had a tough love and we loved hard. Both of us were young – too young for the seriousness that was required for the relationship that we both so badly wanted. We both made mistakes. We yelled, screamed and fought – made up, kissed and forgave. He was patient, kind and careful and could be the opposite. So could I.

What I hope for you is that the relationship he and I had has prepared him for a lifetime of happiness with you. I hope he puts you first when you deserve it. I hope you never doubt the love shared. I hope you have the Friday night date nights, adventurous Saturdays and those lazy Sundays that are incredibly magical if you're present enough to enjoy them.

The relationship that the two of you have is one every woman dreams of and searches for. The one without the anxiety surrounding the unknowns, overwhelmingly secure, loving, and mature. I hope you cherish it. Cherish the heart that you are now holding. It's special. It's rare and it will take care of you if you allow it. His heart has so much love to give and you deserve it.

I had the boy and you got the man..... Xx

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.
