An Open Letter To My Dad and his girlfriend...

First I would like to begin with my father, he had divorced my mother and ended up dating a wonderful young woman.
Dear Daddy,
You know me so well but yet you don't know me at all. I'm your precious little girl, you know? The one you wish would stay little forever, I'm growing up Daddy and I know you dread the day I'm on my own but it's coming and it's coming soon. You were the first man I ever gave my heart to because you raised me and showed me what a man really is. You were the first to break my heart and then piece it back together. I know it's rough to read that but it really did hurt when you first left me, my sister, and my mother, now I am past all of that and i still love you the same. I have met a wonderful young woman i can connect to and look up to as a person because of you. Thank you for introducing her, shes quite lovely. I know at first you may have thought I hated her, and this stings to write but it's true, at first I held a grudge because I thought she took my father away, but now I see it a totally different way. I see her now as someone I can talk to and laugh with and a shoulder to cry on. I know now that BOTH of you are right there behind me to support me as well as Mum is. Thank you for all of that.

Dear Dad's Girlfriend,
I will not state your name because this is a punblic format and anyone could read this, but I wanted to thank you for what you have done for me in the past year. I know we may have had a rough start on my end, but that has all changed now. Now i see you as someone who inspires me, an Idol, someone to show me bravery. I love you for that. You have truly changed my life in more ways than 1 and I am greatful for that. You and my mother are the two woman I look to the most. You two are the young ladies I inspire to be one day. I know that some days I don't talk much and I know when i'm at your house I mostly hide in my room, but please don't take that as a personal thing, it's what I have always done. You have showed me that even with depression and anxiety I can still live a normal funfilled life. You are truly amazing. So here is to all the adventures we have had and heres to many more.
Sincerly,
Your Boyfriends Daughter

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.
