To The Person Who Stayed

Your smile and laughter is what will take you the farthest in life, but just know it helped me the most to remember what life is about, which is happiness.

To The Person Who Stayed

In life you meet many different people. Some are there to make you laugh, some are to keep you in a positive direction, some teach you life lessons and some are what truly make you a better person. You were not just one of those things but all in one. When I didn't even love myself you loved me. When I would lay around for weeks miserable with life you didn't leave me thinking I was alone, you were always there, always a call away. Trying to rebuild my life after losing myself was without a doubt the hardest thing I have ever done and I know I would have never been able to do it without you.

Thanks for never lying to me. Even though I was fragile you always told me what I needed to hear even when it hurt. When I was acting crazy you were the first to tell me to calm down and take 5. If you weren't there I couldn't even imagine some of the things I would have said/done without you bringing me back to earth and look at the situation in a new perspective.

Thanks for not leaving me. Going through depression and finding yourself is something that is truly the hardest thing to explain. I didn't love myself, in fact I hated myself, but you still stayed. I knew I could count on a weekly catch up and it always made me feel so blessed to know you were still there. I pushed away everyone but you didn't let me do that with you. You saw past my attitude & stuck around to help me rebuild when no one was there.

Thanks for always being there when I need an adventure. From willingly getting in my car and going on long drives even though you hate my driving thank you. For going along with all my crazy ideas and making everything we do, even if it is shopping at marshals a huge fun game where no matter what we both end up laughing so hard we cause a scene because getting pillows shouldn't be that much fun.

Thanks for supporting every one of my crazy ideas. From switching my major daily, to always wanting to try something new, thanks for tagging along when I try and pursue a different career each week.Thank you for never judging how passionate I get about absolutely everything in life and getting just as excited as I do.

You loved me when I was unlovable. You saw past what most people ran away from and to be honest you gave me hope that I could start again. Your positivity for life is what everyone gets from you but to me especially, you gave me the light I needed. You took me out of my comfort zone and face life head on. Thanks for listening to my rants even when you knew I was wrong for what I was doing, thanks for knowing just when the perfect time to joke about it is. Thanks for never judging my passion for the way I live life and do every task, thanks for getting just as excited as me to go on stupid errands. Thanks for making me feel worth fixing and always being there to remind me that, and then go right back to the tough love kinda friend you are. Your smile and laughter is what will take you the farthest in life, but just know it helped me the most to remember what life is about, which is happiness.

Love you always Danal

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
