The Game of Love

The wish of love from a family is one of no other, but the fear of losing it all is what continues to make us fear it even happening.

The Game of Love

We all dream of the day that we will open our eyes up to the sun coming through the blinds, our husband right next to us, and our kids running to our room to see if mommy and daddy are awake yet. Which will simply cause a smile to grow upon your face, because that in that one simple moment you realize you got everything you ever could have dreamed for.

I've dreamt of this day repeatedly, and that is what sometimes gets me through the hard times of today. Having that comfort, that reassurance from a group of people that you know love you and will do anything for you, is a feeling no other can bring. I can recall in one part of my life I had received that kind of happiness, but on the child perspective. Don't get me wrong, there were defienetly times where I had not taken to sight of what was right in front of me, but there were others where I would wake up and not have a single fear in the world because I was safe there.

I strive to have a family life of such kind again, but on the point of an adult. When I say no thing could fulfill that level of happiness, I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Even though it had been taken away from me so suddenly, I understand why God gave me that opportunity to see how it is suppose to be.

The only fear is that, what if that all falls apart? Growing up watching my parents divorce, remarry over and over again, makes me think what if there will not be that one person that you will grow with you throughout the years of your chaotic, but wonderful life. What if they just wake up one day and that person that gave you all your security, is gone. That is unavoidable, but I believe that is where faith simply has to come to play.

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.
