To The Person Who Helped Me Love Myself

To The Person Who Loved Me When I Didn't Love Myself,

Life lately has been a tornado of emotions. I'm currently in that gray area where I'm not sure what is next, and I don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing. Am I falling behind my peers, am I actually exceeding some of them? ... Or am I right where I'm supposed to be? All of these questions in my head have been making me my own worst enemy, but thank God for you. If I did not have you in my life, it's safe to say I'd be tossed in a looney bin.

If I'm having a bad day, I can always count on you to make me smile. Whether it's you saying something completely asinine, or extremely sweet, you make that bad day disappear for a moment. You have the power to make those feelings of anxiety or sadness vanish with just the grasp of your hand holding mine.

When I feel like my world is falling apart, you help me build it back together piece by piece. Things just aren't as bad when you put them into perspective for me. When I have 100 reasons why I don't like myself, you fire back with 101 reasons why I should. Maybe Plato wasn't crazy when he created his philosophy on soul mates.

As the story consists, humans were originally created with two faces, four legs, and four arms. They were split in half and destined to spend their lives searching for their other halves. I believe when that other half is found, everything is easier. Everything makes sense. You are that other half for me, my soul mate. We may be opposites, but that's why we even each other out. When I'm down, you bring me up. When I'm happy, you escalate that happiness. Everything in life just makes more sense since you've come along.

Thank you for your pure existence. You have helped me see there is nothing that cannot be conquered when somebody has faith in you. You have helped me better myself and helped me love who I am because of the love you shower me with constantly. Life's gotten better since you've came along and there's no way but up from here. Thank you for giving me that mind set.

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.
