An Open Letter To My Dog

Even though you don’t speak human, I feel like you understand me.

An Open Letter To My Dog
Samantha Bravo

Bella,

We adopted you in 2008. You were a few weeks old. Dad did not expect you, but there you were, and you stole his heart. I love it when I hear, “Where’s my girl?” from my dad, even though it’s not for me, I’m glad it’s for you. I’m glad he accepted you and started loving you like you were one of his girls.

You are so spoiled. I think we spoil you way too much, but you deserve it. You’re such a good girl we can’t be mad at you. Even though you sometimes ‘GO’ anywhere if we don’t open the backyard door for you, that’s our fault, not yours. See spoiled.

Chihuahuas are known to be small and loud, but not you. You don’t have time to bark at the mailman. You look like a reindeer, with your long arms and legs. Your white fur chest is like you wearing a fur coat, fancy. Dad loves your white paws, you look like you’re wearing white socks, just like him!

Thank you for being there for me. Even though you don’t speak human, I feel like you understand me. You know when it’s time for lunch, when it’s time for a walk, when it’s time to go to bed, you’re just too smart for this world.

No matter how tired I am, I always make time to play with you. Going for walks is my favorite part of the day. We get our exercise but we also get to spend alone time together.

There are so many reasons why I love you. You are my best friend, my sister. Thank you for loving me when I feel unloved. I hope you know how blessed I am to have you in my life.

Love your sister, Sam.

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.
