A letter To My Family
Lexi Leedle

I would not be where I am today, if it was not for you guys. You guy always seem to have my back even when I do things you would not agree with. I am more than thankful to have you guys as my family because I have the best support system from you. For the past nineteen years, you guys have gone out of your way to make sure you did everything that you could for me. I am very lucky to say that I am very close to my family and that I do not think it will change. I want to take time and tell you guys what I think of you and everything you do for me:

1. Thanks for advice.

It may seem, at times, that I do not want to hear your voice and that is probably true, but I am glad that you guys are willing to give me your advice. Your advice ranges from heartbreaks, to friend drama, to school issues, and work. I am glad that you are able to help me think of new ways to deal with my issues and show me that sometimes I am being over dramatic. At the end of the day, I am glad that I have your advice because I never know when it will come in handing to use toward my friends.

2. Thanks for all the memories.

Our memories have varied for nineteen years and they will continue to change. I am glad that most of my first experience were with my family. For an example my first concert and all my vacations. I would not trade those memories for anything. I love being able to say that I traveled the world with my family because we had an amazing time on all of our vacations or weekend trips. During our trips or concerts together, we share jokes, laughter, and the best heart to hearts.

3. Being my number one fan.

I could not have asked for a better support system. All throughout elementary to high school, you guys were my biggest fans. You never missed a school event or a sporting event. When you attended all my school events, you always had a smile on your face and always showed pride in me when you could. Now that I am in college you still continue to be my number one fan. You always get excited when I tell you that i am stepping out of my comfort zone and experiencing new things. I know as I continue to get older and experience new things that you will always be my number one fan in life.

4. Making sure that I had everything.

Thank you so much for making sure I had everything that I needed or want. Thanks for always making sure that I had place to live, food to eat, and clothes to wear. Also, thank you for always going out of your way to get me things that I wanted that I did not need. By you making sure that I had everything you showed me how to be grateful because there are some kids that do not have any of these. Thanks for all you hard work on making sure i had everything necessary to survive.

5. Helping me become me.

If it was not for any of you, I would probably not be were I am today. Thank you for always helping me understand what I wanted to do in my life. Thank you for teaching me that it is okay to focus on myself and my happiness. Also for helping me grow and better understand what kind of person that I want to be in the future.


Thank you for always having my back and making sure that I had everything that I need or want in life. I am beyond grateful to have an amazing family that would do anything for me without anything in turn. If it was not for you guys, I have no clue where I would be in life because you guys have pushed me in many ways to be the person I am today.

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.
