You still mean a lot to me.

​To Those Who Left A Mark In My Life
Facebook

Have you ever met someone unexpectedly that you create an instant connection without realizing it? This sort of thing happens to me all the time and it’s not just because of how many close family friends my family has or how social I’ve become. It’s basically because the moment you’ve met that person they have left a mark in your life.

You want to believe it’ll go away right off the bat because you think you’ll never see this person again. Well guess what? That’s not the case at all whatsoever. You don’t have to be friends with someone to see them everyday or a few days a week. It can be a boss, your co-worker, anyone you met or know in your area; any one of these people can leave a mark in your life.

That mark doesn’t have to be left right away. For me it just happens that way because I became a people person on very good days. For others it can take days, weeks, months, heck even years if you are truly that unsure. Eventually, that time will come and that mark will be made in your life.

How does one leave a mark in your life? Well. if you read one of my most recent articles about this topic you would know for sure someone has left a mark in your life. Briefly, whether it be the amount of conversations you had with the person, letting then be a shoulder to cry on or just any amount of generous acts the person has done for you or your friends, that’s just the simplest of ways a single person can leave a mark in your life.

So for those who currently leave a mark in my life (this counts for those in my past too), I can not thank you enough. Mostly, because the mark you left on me helped me become the person I am today instead of staying the shy little girl I was when I was younger and helping me not fade back on that track. Please keep doing what you’re doing because it seems to be working.

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.
