To The Musician Who Changed My Life
Sparrow Fulford

From a child on up I always was a dreamer. I never thought anything would be able to stop me from obtaining any goals. I have never left anything stop me from reaching the result that I would envision. Then I met someone who completely tore me down. I was discouraged from trying new adventures. I never had the freedom to reach for the stars without being constantly told that it was impossible or just a waste of time. I was mentally abused and had no idea that it was happening.

My dreams and goals were just thoughts at this point of my life. I had been convinced that everything that I was working toward was all a big joke. Seeing disappointment in my parent’s eyes was heart-breaking and confusing at the same time. It was confusing to me because I truly did not understand what I was doing wrong. I did not see that I was throwing everything I worked for in the trash. I was also heart-broken because my parent’s opinion of me means everything, making them proud is part of my job.

They saw what took me a long time to see. They saw my potential just being disregarded because I was only doing tasks to the bare minimum. During this current stage of my life, I thought that being saved was just a fantasy. I never thought I would be able to fight back. You would never think that someone who accidentally spilled a drink on you would change your life forever. My heart and mind were completely shut down before I met you. I had no hope of returning not only to who I used to be, but a better version.

At first I was moved by your music. I could relate to the story being told in your lyrics and I did not feel alone anymore. Knowing someone else has experienced the current feelings I feel is comforting. You have a tone that is highly original and that is what caught my attention to begin with. The emotion and theatrics that I can feel in every song you sing gives me goosebumps throughout my body. Aside from your voice of an angel, I got to know you on a personal level. After talking to you for a few hours, I felt like I have known you for years. We connected in an unexplainable way. Without you I am not sure where I would be today.

You have inspired me to be spontaneous and crave adrenaline. I feel complete again. You showed me that I have an intellect that I should not keep to myself, rather embrace it. Feeling the consistent support from you is incredible. I could never have enough words or the right words to thank you. I have since then, progressively brought myself back to who I used to be. I am constantly striving to experience new things as well as accomplish goals that bystanders view as impossible. You gave me a purpose again.

You showed me that who I was is certainly not who I wanted to be. Cheers to you for changing my life, and I am sure many more that you are not even aware of.

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.
