Isn't it funny, how the world works? one day you are sad and feel alone. The next day you meet someone that changes your life in so many ways without them knowing. Here is to you, a stranger who became such an important piece of my heart.

Most nights I can't sleep, maybe it's insomnia or maybe I just overthink way to much. I always go back to my darkest times. When I felt so alone, trapped in a cage. Somehow you found the key and set me free. I know that sounds so cheesy, but i'm glad our paths decided to cross the way, time and day they did. Isn't it funny, strange and amazing, how fast we went from being complete strangers not knowing what to talk about, to being friends creating amazing memories.

Most individuals in my life, believe that i'm a closed book with double lock. I'm viewed as a carless, lazy person with no motivation, no goals or dreams, someone boring and probably useless. I let all that affect me for the longest time, I let words cut me and leave a scar. I believe I have done something right, because you are now part of my life. Here is to you, for teaching me what I know now. Reassuring me that I do care, in your opinion way to much. Thanks for giving me not only your hand when I fall but a shoulder where to cry on. Thanks for being there and helping me put myself back together when I thought I was done. Thanks for allowing me be who I really am without judging every decision, and move I make. Thanks for getting mad and correcting me when you need to. This is me thanking you not only for being a friend, but becoming an important family member. It's crazy but I love going back to the first day we met, who knew we were going to share secrets, stay up until 3 am talking about things no one else knows about. Crying, laughing, remembering, and planning new adventures. You and I both have walked through broken glass, have wounds that won't heal completely.

I've been judged, stepped on, laughed at, and dragged down by people that should be supportive. I let myself get talked out of pursuing my dreams, I let myself get eaten alive and put to war with my own self all alone. When I thought I was done and wanted to give everything up, you were there. Making me smile and laugh when I thought I couldn't, cheering, clapping and celebrating every little thing I did. Encouraging me to keep going. You because my motivation, and for that I will be eternally thankful. Most of the time the struggle gets real, but we find a way to make it work. sometimes we are reckless and do what we want, but that's what makes us amazing and maybe a little crazy. Looking back makes me laugh a little, all the times you almost begged me go to sleep. All the times I had a bad feeling and I made you tell me what was wrong.

Thanks for supporting me the way you do, for wanting my opinion and help with so many things. I hope you know that when I say I love you I really mean it. I hope you understand that when I say I will always be here for you, I'm being serious. When I say I'll be cheering you on like your number one fan, I will because in my eyes you are a rockstar. Even if I can't see you, even if we are separated far from each other, i'll always be watching you. I'll always be supporting you until the very end.

Do you believe in destiny? because I think I do. Sometimes I'm asked if I regret decisions i've made in the past. I would normally say yes to this question, but I also believe that things happen for a reason. I wouldn't change a thing if it means having you in my life today. Thanks for being the person you are, giving me a reason to be a better version of myself. Here is to you, to me, to the future memories we will create.

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.
