because I thought I should let you know.

An Open Letter To My Boyfriend
Kristen Soltani

I never realized how terrible my previous relationship was until I met you. When we first met I never thought anything would come of it. You didn't want a relationship and I didn't really either. I was leaving in 3 months to move back home and I just got out of a relationship about 2 months before. Little did I know that only after a few short days of spending time with you we would both fall under each others spell.

I don't know how or why I fell in love with you so fast but I did. Maybe it was the way that you intently listened to every word that fell off my lips, or the way that you always tell me how beautiful I am even when I look terrible and have no makeup on. Or maybe it's that even though we are both broke struggling college students, you found a way to find something for us to go do, whether it was going to the river walk or going to the Augusta canal or the swamp or just going for a late night drive when you knew something was bothering me, even when I didn't want to say anything. There are a million reasons why I fell in love with you but the point is I did. And now that I'm in this place I don't want to leave it.

I never realized that my previous edit relationship wasn't very good until I met you. Instead of just being in a relationship to be in a relationship, which was basically what I was doing, it's because I actually care about you. And not like I didn't care about my ex, but it's completely different. Nothing is the same at all. It's incomparable.

Thank you for always reminding me about my good qualities when I don't remember them myself, and for listening to me and forcing me to talk about my feelings even when I don't want to, but always feel better afterwards.

I'm sorry that sometimes I annoy you just to mess with you, but thank you for loving me anyways. We all have flaws but you look past mine and I look past yours. I love just spending the day with you, even if all we are doing is laying in bed and watching a random show on Netflix or a movie. Going on adventures are fun too but more thank anything I just like your company.

Thank you for teaching me things about cars or other random things and then calmly explaining it again when I have forgotten it 2 days later.

I can't wait to see all that the future holds for us. I'm excited for new memories that we will make. All I can hope for is that God's plan for my life includes you and that we will continue to love each other deeply and forgive quickly.

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.
