Love Is A Scary Thing

To The Boy I'm Afraid To Say "I Love You" To

Love is a scary thing. To say I love you to someone for the first time, well that's an even scarier thing. It's not that I haven't said it to anyone else before, I have, but it left me broken. My relationship before you was a nightmare. It lasted three years when it probably only should have lasted one...max. I loved him (or so I thought), but he didn't love me.

Now there is you. We just click. I never have to pretend to be anyone else but myself. I trust you, which is the most important thing of all because I rarely ever trust anybody 100%. When we are together nothing else matters. Work problems, school problems they all disappear. You know how to make me laugh and you know how to make me smile when I'm not feeling at my best. You're passionate about music and when I watch you create it there is this spark in you. Nothing makes me happier than being in your presence.Your hugs feel like home to me and there is no question that as soon as I lay down in your arms I could instantly fall asleep, I feel safe. Our late night drives, monthly wrestling pay per view nights, and countless hours playing Kingdom Hearts on your old PS2 have become a routine. We have inside jokes and me being the dopey blonde I can be there is no doubt in my mind that we will have more. Now lately when I'm with you I have found myself just normally glancing up at you and thinking...I love you, and that scares me. Now we have been together a long enough time where these feelings seem normal but I cant help to think, what if you don't feel the same? Neither one of us have said those three words out loud and being the first one to say it...well it's frightening. I want to say them more than anything and it's killing me not to admit these feelings but I'm scared. What if I say it and everything changes. There are a million different reactions you could have. Yet at the end of the day I can' help but admit that yes, I love you, I'm not sure when or how I will tell you but I do.

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.
