To the Soldier Who was supposed to be here

11

We are finally getting married the one thing you swore you wanted to see. I remember you saying you would beat us with a madic candle if we didn't hurry up and do it. Well here we are and you're not here to be with us. So how do we make it feel like you are here, well it starts we that old dodge you loved, daddy is bringing me in to the wedding in that truck and were leaving as husband and wife in that same truck. We struggle with the thought of you not standing there with him, telling him it's all alright and he made the right choice. I know I won't get to see the chesses grin when I walk up to marry my best friend and you won't be there to give dad a pat on the back when he is in the most nerves state since the day I was born. I have to say you not being here for a year and 9 months has been far from easy. In fact, I look for you everywhere I go hoping ill wake up from this nightmare I have been in. I will never understand why you had to go so soon but I know I will get to see you again, but it will never be soon enough. I need your calmness in times like these but all I can do is think about what you would tell me. I pray every day that you will keep you hand over all of us as we get closer. I know your good at that you have saved us from things that could have been the worst things ever in our lives. Just know that we love you and miss you every day. So please Soldier love us just as much as we love you. We wish you were here. From your loving cousin that misses you greatly.

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.
