What It's Like To Lose Someone Close To You

It doesn’t matter how old you were when it happened, you remember it so perfectly it still burns in your mind. You still feel the aching in your heart and the tears in your eyes no matter how long ago it happened.

What It's Like To Lose Someone Close To You

As time goes on you slowly adapt to the reality that they are gone and that pain may slowly become less severe but it never goes away. You still wish you could sit with them and talk to them and just hug them.

You probably have some regrets and things that you wish you had done with them before they had left too soon. You probably have words that you wish you could say to them. You think maybe if you could just see them one more time you would feel better and you would be able to make sure that they know how much you love and appreciate them.

You think back on all of the memories you shared with them, there were so many good and happy memories that you wish you could relive. It doesn’t matter where you are or what you are doing, you’ll see the smallest thing or hear a sound and instantly think of them. They were always so great to be around and you loved spending time with them although you wish you had gotten more time together.

You still wonder what it would be like if they had never left, you wonder how things would be different now. There are so many things you wish that they could have been there for but you know that they’re watching you and they are proud of where you are now.

When you feel sad you think about them and how they used to make you laugh and smile.

If you’re feeling sad or you’re crying it makes you feel better thinking about those memories that you shared. You just think that it was so amazing to even get to share a part of your life with such a great person. Even if it wasn’t as long as you wanted it to be.

To all of the loved ones thought about while reading this article that left too soon, you are missed dearly, loved and appreciated.

To the people reading this article thinking about the loved ones they lost too soon, they loved you and knew you appreciated them.


To the people that I lost too soon that inspired me to write this article, I miss you all very much and I wish that I had the chance to properly say goodbye to you guys. You all always made me feel loved and you made me laugh and smile so much. Some of my best memories were shared with you. Although I still get upset now and then I try to remember that you would not want me to cry, you would want me to go out and enjoy my life. Until we meet again.

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.
