To My First Significant Other

An open letter to the first person who made me feel loved.

Power Of Positivity

Dear Significant Other,

I don't know how to exactly put the feelings I have toward you into words. I do know that you have showed me so much more than I have ever known already. I am not used to getting this type of attention, so I really adore having it now after a long time. Although we haven't known each other too long, I just want to thank you.

Thank you for letting me talk to you when I have anxiety. From tests to the little things like if I look OK, you are there to listen and help me overcome. I have never had someone in my life, besides a few close friends, who can calm me down, and actually are willing to listen. I know that my anxiety can get bad, so I get nervous talking to anyone about this. You make me feel comfortable, safe and human when I have these problems. I wanna be there for you when the same thing occurs on your end.

Thank you for making me feel beautiful. From dress and heels, to sneakers and sweats you make me feel like I am perfect the way I am every day. I used to get teased for my appearance, but with you I know that I don't need makeup to make me look beautiful, rather my confidence in myself. It is not about the clothes, my nails or my hair. I just have to remember to have confidence in myself. I know we all have our insecurities, but honey you are perfect too.

Thank you for being my supporter. There are times where I do not believe in myself, but you somehow manage to make me wanna get back in the saddle and keep going. Whether it be academics, work or whatever, you just have that way about you to make me want to keep going. There will be times where you need me there for you as well, and I want to be there however I can. Life is not always easy, but I am a personal believer when people say that two is better than one.

Most importantly: thank you so much for continuing to talk with me, and make me feel special. Sometimes my anxiety makes me feel as though I am being annoying, but the fact that you are still so willing to talk with me makes me feel better. It doesn't even matter what we are talking about. Hell, you could be telling me about the day you had and I would feel so glad that you felt you could trust me with it. I want to continue to keep this type of contact with you, and I hope to meet you soon.

Overall, there is a lot more that I could thank you for, but I know that I wanted to get these thanks out. I do not know how I got so lucky to get you in my life. Even if you do not feel the same way, it is OK, but I wanted to communicate this to you the best I could.

Sincerely,

A Significant Other

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.
