To The Person Who Loves Me Next

Like a small child, be prepared to make sure I nap and eat every few hours in order to avoid a tantrum.

First of all, thank you. Thank you for listening to my babbling when you're trying to watch a movie, and thank you for rubbing my back even when you don't want to.

I'm beauty in rare form. Sometimes it may seem as if I have 15 different personalities, and I'll definitely eat some of your food after I say I'm not hungry; but bare with me, I'm learning. I'm learning how to lower my voice when I'm mad, and I swear I'm trying to gain more common sense.

I can't promise you that I'm going to always be in a good mood. I'm irritable sometimes, especially if I'm hungry or tired. Like a small child, be prepared to make sure I nap and eat every few hours in order to avoid a tantrum. Do not wake me up any time before noon on weekends, and you can't hit me back when I give you a charlie horse.

Just let me cool off if I'm being an asshole, and give me some time to apologize for being completely out of line. I'm not really a cuddler, I get too hot, and need to sleep with my socks off- sorry if my cold feet touch your legs. I'll probably try to slip you a Benadryl so you'll sleep through the night when you're sick, and I will definitely bring you to the mall with me -- a lot. Oh, and we're going to play with puppies quite often.

My family is crazy -- truly a creation -- I'm not sure how quickly you'll get used to them. I have dogs, and I prefer for them to sleep right in bed with me -- sorry, you're going to be covered in fur. I fight with my siblings, and my Mom, and sometimes my Dad but he's pretty cool for the most part. They come first, even before you. The only friends I have are like family now, so just like my blood, they are important to me, and hopefully will soon be to you.

I'm going to cook for you, and make you eat vegetables with me. I love the summer, concerts, fishing and all of that, so please be prepared to spend a bunch of time together. Sometimes you're going to get mad at me, I'm a bit annoying; I talk too much.

Most of all, I know what it's like to love and be loved, and I know what its like to have one sided love -- so I promise you that there won't be a day that you don't know your worth to me. If I'm with you, it's where I want to be. I'm thankful that you're willing to love me even when you hate me, and I'm excited for the future.

So, to the person who loves me next, thank you for letting me love you back. I hope this is the last love you have, in a good way.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
