An Open Letter To My Furry Friend

Though you are gone, you are not forgotten

An Open Letter To My Furry Friend

To my furry best friend,

When I first brought you home years ago, all I could think about was the mischief we would get into. I'd wake up the next morning, see your cute furry face and smile. When mom wasn't looking, I would sneak you food, and give you extra treats, even when you weren't being a "good dog." I share so many special memories with you over the years, as we'v both grown up together.

From running around in the backyard, to walks around the neighborhood, these memories I hold special with you in a different way than any human I know. And yet, the day came when I had to leave you for school (one of the biggest reasons I didn't want to go.) I asked mom if I could bring you with me, and considered ways to sneak you out of the house to live with me in my dorm room.

When you passed away, life wasn't the same. I didn't come home to your barks and wagging tail. I didn't come home

Some people think that pets are just pets, but to me, you were one of my best pals, and a honorable member of our family. Holidays would not-- and will not-- be complete without you around, trying to scavenge food or snuggle up next to someone on the couch.

And though you are gone, in pet heaven, you are and forever will be with me, and with our family. You have touched our hearts in our lives more then you can imagine. I miss you every single day, and will continue to. Thanks for being the best furry friend I could have ever asked for.

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.
