Thanks for keeping me alive.

To The Friend Who Never Let Me Down
ErikaMoore

Dear you,

I am writing this letter because you have made an impact on my life. I have only known you for almost six years, and I am thankful for those years. No matter what, you have always been there when I needed you. From day one, I have had a lot of problems and flaws. You stayed by my side through it all. Regardless if I was in a relationship or not, you were always there. We've had a lot of good memories and many bad. However, the good always have and will outweigh the bad. If I ever felt like I needed someone to talk to, you answered, even at 4am. If I ever felt like I needed to do harm or leave my house, you talked to me until I calmed down. You skyped me and watched me until I went to sleep, just to make sure I wouldn't do anything stupid and hurt myself. You cared about me and loved me like no one has ever before. I thank you for that. I may not always act like I have appreciated it, but I do and always will. I know we have our arguments, but they are nothing compared to the relationship we had. I remember when you were looking at wedding/engagement rings for us. Time has passed, but nothing has changed. I know that we are both involved with other people and have our own lives, but I will always be here for you no matter what and I know you feel the same. There is so much more I could write, but I'm pretty sure you know the rest. I love you. 12/28/10

Love Always,

Erika

Okay, not done. I just thank God that I met you. If it wasn't for you, I might not be here. You have kept me alive. You helped me through a really bad time in my life. I don't think you know how much that means to me. Thank you so much for everything you've done for me. I hope I had an impact on your life, like you did on mine. While writing this, I thought about all of the good time and memories we had. I cherish them and I look forward to the many more.

Now . . .

Love Always,

Erika

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.
