To The Boy Who Saved Me
Kyrsten Leake

Thank you and I love you.

All it took was a week. A week of this mystery and I couldn't quite put my finger on it. You were the new guy at work. I was ranting about something at seven in the morning because that is just who i am. Of course, you were the only one around and me with the big mouth, had to talk to someone. So you being the curious one you are, listened to me out of all people,

That was the start of it all.

You asked me to hang out with you and I honestly couldn't say no. You were mysterious and cute. Yeah, I said that. I was drawn to you. I tried to tell myself you weren't what I needed because I had a boyfriend at the time. I was content with my life. I thought I was happy or at least getting there. I never expected to just walk into work and meet someone.

I tried to convince myself I wasn't what you needed ether. I am the girl with walls. I hate opening up to people. Well, that didn't work too well--granted we are currently dating. Hopefully you aren't sick of me yet. You changed my entire world and the way I see it.

I was drowning when I met you. You probably didn't realize it when I met you, but I was. I couldn't deal with all my mental issues. I couldn't deal with everything going on at home. When we would hang out, it was simple. It was (still is) hours and hours on end of laughing and talking about whatever. I found myself being able to open up to you about stuff that I rarely tell anyone. Basically, three maybe four people know what you know. It is rare.

I smiled truly for the first time in months. It feels simple and nice. I love being around you. I love being with you more than you know. You make life seem simple when most of the time it isn't. For once, it isn't complicated, I am so thankful for what you have done for me in the time we have spent together. I'm learning how to be myself again. I don't think I couldn've done that without you.

If it wasn't for the push and the love and support(sometimes brutal honesty), I wouldn't have decided to go back to college or work harder to achieve my goals. Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Our story is weird and complicated. I know. Regardless of everything, you saved me from some of the darkest points. You listened when no one else did. You made me feel safe. You comforted me and told me sometimes life isn't fair, but what happens happens.

For some reason, I've heard that a million times and that was one of the first times I took that to heart. I mean, let's be real, you know how stubborn I am.

Life is insane and weird. I could go on this emotional rant, but I won't just so I won't embarrass you. Thank you for everything. Thank you for saving me when I needed saving. I know I hate to admit it, but man am I glad you were the one to save me.

I don't always say thank you for everything you do. So hopefully this helps just a bit.

I'm stubborn and so are you. You literally drive me insane sometimes. You tease me all the time about my height and my attitude, and I am pretty sure we can't ever see each other without a tickle fight happening. I wouldn't change it for the world. I am the happiest I have been in months. As much as I want to say I did all of this on my own, I didn't. It was partially because of you. You were the one who motivated me and still does.

Thank you for becoming my best friend. Thank you for becoming my best friend and someone who I can be my complete self around. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being the sweet loving guy, but also the guy who sometimes pushes my buttons and always honestly speaks his mind.

I love you. I promise to give my all as long as you give your all.

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.
