As we close one year and start a new one, I just want to thank you for your presence in my life.

A Thank You To Literally Every Single Person Who Has Been In My Life
Carol Schell

To anyone and everyone who has entered my life: thank you.

Some of you have come in my life and it's clear you are here to stay. For those that have chosen to keep a strong relationship with me, thank you. We've grown to have such a strong bond in which we help each other through all that life has to throw at us. You don't judge me just as I don't judge you. We love each other unconditionally and know that our lives wouldn't be complete without each other. So for those that have chosen to make a permanent mark on my life, thank you for being my rock. I look forward to flooding our lives with countless memories together.

Some of you have come in my life early on and stayed until we took different paths following high school. That is perfectly o.k. that our relationship may not have lasted through such big changes. We can't have countless life-long relationships. We have both realized that we have bigger things to accomplish in our lives and it meant finding new relationships. I will always have those memories of us and will always be rooting you on. Continue doing great things in life, and if it's meant to be, we will re-kindle our relationship.

Some of you have come in my life to quickly leave. For whatever reason that is, I wish you all the success. Sometimes we grace each others' lives for a reason. Sometimes it's to learn a lesson and sometimes it's to teach others a lesson. No matter the reason, it's a blessing to have met you and I will always remember the small amount of time we've gotten to know each other.

Some of you have formed strong, positive relationships with me, and some of you have formed relationships that have ended badly. No matter how our relationship has ended (or continues), know that I genuinely wish you all the success in life. Life can't be full of happiness and positivity 24/7 and that is o.k.; that's what makes life interesting. If we had a bad relationship it's not the end of the world, I've moved on and have been living my life just as you have. Thank you, however, for showing me how to (and not to) handle negative relationships.

Thank you to everyone who has been in my life for all you have done. Whether you've been in my life for 1 day to 21.5 years, you've lead me to where I am today and I couldn't be more grateful. Each and every one of you have had an impact in my life that I will never forget. You've made my life unique and memorable.

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.
