To The Unexpected Person

Sometimes those are the best kind of people.

To The Unexpected Person

To the unexpected person,

You know who you are and that's a good thing. It's a good thing because I'm so happy I met you and the impact you've had on me during my first year of college. I never thought I would meet you, that's what makes you my unexpected person. In two months it will be a year since we've met and made each other happy. Sometimes I wonder what if I didn't go to that party that night? Would I have still gotten to know you? Would I have still kissed you? I don't have to think about that because here we are.

Almost one year. It's funny how people meet. You either like them immediately, hate them, or you just have trust issues. It depends on the situation. You can meet them through friends, see them in passing, or Tinder which was not used in this situation. I could go into detail on how we really met. In passing, then at a party. The rest isn't history but it's between us. I got to know you and your lifestyle and you got to know mine without judgements. To me that's perfect.

I think you can feel star struck by someone even if they're not celebrities. It doesn't always have to be a romantic feeling, it could be someone you just want to be friends with. You were a senior and I a freshman. I was absolutely star struck by you. I kept thinking "why would a senior guy want to even associate with me?" But you did and we continue to be seen with each other to this day. You always tell me that you wish you would've met me sooner but we both know that couldn't be possible. Our little age gap hasn't stopped us because we let it happen.

I can't begin to describe how happy I've been since being together. Even through some obstacles, but that only shows how strong we are together. I noticed that I became more selfless when I'm with you. I learned to love myself. Yes, you were a part of that and that's what makes you amazing.

To my unexpected person: You made me cry tears of happiness, not sadness. You made me eat, not starve. You ruined my lipstick, not mascara. We're in it for the long haul, not just for one night. I have to admit, you are entirely unexpected but I think those are the best people.

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.
