An Open Letter To My Bed

I have a lot of great friends in this world. I love them all and some are like family to me. But there is one friend of mine who has gone very unappreciated over the years. This friend is called my bed. Now I know I may sound crazy but hear me out. My bed has helped me so much throughout the years. I has been there with me ever since I was born. It started out as a little baby crib and has grown with me through life. Sure, some of the early years of our friendship was rough. Like, when I wanted to be in my parent's bed more than my bed. But eventually we made up and my bed and I have done a lot together. My bed has helped me through several breakups and has supported me through all of the hard times in my life. I have introduced some of my best friends to my bed and they love him. Likewise, my bed has introduced me to his friends pillows and blanket.

Along with my bed, pillows and blanket have supported and kept me warm through out the years. When I left for college I was sad to learn that I would not have my bed anymore. They told me I would have a new bed that was smaller than my bed. I didn't take it very well and this new bed was very different. Whenever I wanted to be productive it kept me trapped along with his own pillows and blanket. I just wanted to sleep instead of actually being productive. This lack of motivation was all due to my new bed. I wanted to go home to see my bed but I was afraid that my parents had gotten rid of my bed and his friends. I was relieved to see that my bed was still there and has been waiting for me to come home.

To my bed, thank you for being there for everything I have gone through over the years. You have been so helpful and comforting to me and I can't thank you enough for how much you have done for me.

Every time I was sick you stayed with me and let me sleep so I could get back to health. Sure, we might have had our disagreements at times and I am very sorry about those times but we were able to overcome those and you still welcome me back home with open arms. It is also great that your friends, pillows and blanket, are there also to welcome me back. Thank you for also supporting my friends. I know you didn't like everyone of them but you still supported them no matter what.

We have done a lot over the years and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us. I'm sorry that I left you for college, but I want you to know that everything is great here and that my new bed this year is much better than last year. Sure, it is not you but you will always be the best. Thank you for everything. With love, Collin.

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.
