The Blessing Of Another Person

Strength we thought we would lose.

The Blessing Of Another Person

Sometimes it’s hard for us to do things on our own. Other times, I at least like to do things on my own so that way they come out the exact way I want them to. This applies to many different parts of my life and it includes many different people. My parents are still greatly involved in my life, but now my boyfriend of six years is more often involved in a lot of what keeps me going sometimes. My boyfriend keeps me going almost on a daily basis, including waking me up some days, and helping to cook food every day, but some days just cooking for himself. Growing into this strong relationship changed how we lived our daily lives together. We continued to focus on what we needed to build to strengthen our relationship and what one of us does and the other does to help the pair.

I continued to accept the fact that I would continue to run daily events in my life with others always being involved. Its easy to let happen now, I have accepted the fact that company will be there with me. Even today when I wake up, I hate being alone. I need to have someone there with me immediately when I wake up. Eating breakfast happens more smoothly as soon as I wake up and someone is there with me. It’s hard for me to eat �on my own. My boyfriend constantly being here is always a relief. Even though he has a full-time job I have it in my mind that he will come home to me, and I will need to have a certain amount of things ready when he’s home. Whether that is chores that we want done in the house, or something for a meal that he might want, I have now gotten used to the fact that getting that done for him will help keep our relationship strong.

Its now hard for me to live constantly on my own. I thought I was going to let that go once I grew up from my parents, but I hate it. I’m glad I get to live a daily life with them, but also with the man that has my heart. I have no idea what my life would be like without him, miserable, boring, lonely perhaps. Keeping near my parents keeps me calm knowing they are close by in any situation when I might need help. My boyfriend also helps keep me constantly calm. Being able to talk to him everyday helps me with my emotions in every level that they may get to. Without him, even with the fact that we don’t have a ring involved, I would unfortunately still just be with my parents living daily with them.

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.
