A Thank You Letter To Those Who Keep Me Sane

I would probably be in a loony bin if you weren't around.

To whom this may concern,

You know who you are. You are the person that helps me deal with my emotional dilemmas in my past and now dealing with them in the present. You are the one that watched me go full throttle, overloaded psychopath when something was getting in my way. Whether it was a person, a thing, or just watching me overthink to the maximum power, which admittedly I tend to do a lot. Even dealing with me being like that when I’m super over-tired and hyper definitely says something.

The laughs we share to keep me going, the tears that have fallen when both of us were breaking down about the same thing or a completely different one.

Same Harry Potter Puppet Pal, Same! In most moments you see me wanting to do that. You stop me whether it’s making me laugh, distracting me with something else or just tell me to suck it up since it’s not worth my time. Over and over again it’s that never-ending cycle of telling me nicely to do this:

Every little bit of that was needed. Without you doing that I could be stuck in an insane asylum somewhere not in this town, or even in this state. You wouldn’t be able to see crazier episodes of me being over-reactive, weird and completely insane. Admit, there are a number of reasons you tolerate it, but there’s only two I can think of. It’s either too entertaining (in other words I’m better than cable) or you know I would do the same thing for you to help me stay sane.

So in short, thank you for all the times you helped me if it was just one encounter. If it was a decent amount, thank you for dealing with it that many times (I am surprised). Most importantly, to the people that deal with it most (my friends, my family, etc.), I’m just flat out thanking you. You are all the real MVP’s in my life and I truly appreciate you more than words can express.

Sincerely,

The Person You Keep Sane

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.
