To The One Who Holds My Heart

Reasons why loving you is so easy.

To The One Who Holds My Heart
Dana Caspar

To the one who holds my heart,

It's impossible for me to grasp what I did to deserve such a kind and caring soul like yours. Every time someone asks me about you, my whole world lights up--the world doesn't seem like such a dark place. When they ask me about you, I never have a bad thing to say. I'm always excited to tell them everything about you and why you mean everything to me. If I had to narrow it down, I would narrow it down to these seven reasons why I love you.


1. You and your kind heart

Your compassion and kindness is astounding, and is one of the many incredible qualities that I love so much about you. I never go a day without feeling loved and appreciated, all because you go the extra mile to make me feel that way. Everyone you meet is affected by your warm and caring personality--it truly is contagious. I am blessed to be loved by someone as loving and affectionate as you.


2. You listen

You take the time and effort to understand what's wrong, not just ask. You listen to every word I say and make me feel heard. You know when the right time to answer is and the right time just to hold me while I cry. You never question my anger, but instead try to empathize and problem solve. You always make me feel so much better knowing I can count on you for anything and everything.

3. You encourage

You encourage me every single day in every aspect of my life. Not a day goes by that you are not telling me that you are proud of me. You are the first person I want to tell all of my accomplishments to, and you're the one person I know will always make me believe in myself again when all hope seems lost. You are my number one fan, and having you here means everything to me.

4. You help me be the best version of myself

I could never count the amount of times that you've helped me be the person I want to be. Because you are so good, I am always trying to find ways to better myself too. In so many ways, you are my other half, but that's what helps get me where I want to be. You help me fill in the gaps where I struggle, and you help teach me to be the best version of myself every day.

5. You challenge me

When I'm stuck in my ways and can't seem to see another view, you help me to understand that my way is not the only way. You challenge me to love people more, study harder, go on more adventures, and the list goes on. You never stop trying to get me to try new things, and often this leads to some of the most incredible adventures.

6. You accept me

Even when no one else does, you welcome me into your arms. When all I want to do is talk about my weird obsessions, favorite celebrities and movies, you don't ever judge me for it. My little quirks and imperfections--you see them, yet love them all. You don't try to change me, or make me someone that I am not. You love me for who I am, all in all.

7. You are my best friend

Being with you is like being connected with my best friend for life: my soulmate. We could talk for endless hours, or we could sit in silence without saying a word. We could have an infinite amount of lazy Sundays, or go out and have countless adventures. We never seem to run out of things to talk about or reasons to end our time together. You are the one person I want to go to for everything, and the one person I always have gone to for everything, and that's how it should be.


If I had to explain what you mean to me, I could go on for hours. These are only just a few of the countless qualities that I love so much about you and everything you do for me. You are beyond just being my person, you are my soulmate. I love you immensely, and I am so blessed. Come what may.

Thank you for being everything I need and more.

All my love,

The one who holds your heart

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.
