To Someone In Heaven

Hello from the other side.

To Someone In Heaven

How are you doing up there? I hope it's everything you wanted it to be. I wonder if you look the same or if you look like you did when you were 30. I hope you're with the people you once loved on Earth before they left too. I selfishly sit here each day and wish I could spend another with you. Haven't gotten my closure yet, but I'm getting there.

Nothing is the same without you. I know you're watching the things I do, and things I continue to do that you loved while you were here with us. I will continue to do my best in school, and be the person you'd want me to be. Anything to make you proud from above, I will do it. Death is something I've never had to endure from such a close view. Even when life seems so cruel and unfair, it was a little less cruel and unfair when you were around.

Laughing, even when things weren't that funny, you made them funny. Crying when things weren't right, me making you laugh instead so I could see you happy again. Never complaining, because you said you had everything you ever wanted right here. Always saying the kindest words out of your mouth, never ever foul. Offering help when you could, and it always being appreciated more than you knew.

Will I ever get closure as to why God took you when I didn't want him to? I won't. But you know why, and that's all that matters. You left this twisted world so peacefully, and that's all I could've ever asked for. Your memory will never vanish, not even a bit. I had the best of your support in my presence. Now I just have it from a higher up position.

Please watch over me and guide me through the hard times. Laugh at me through the silly times. Smile with me at the good times. Hold my hand while I cry at the sad times. Be in my atmosphere while I thrive at the thrilling times. Never leave me, completely.

Love,

Your admirer from Earth

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.
