For you, I will always wait.

My First Love Left A Mark

"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens." Ecclesiastes 3:1

They say your first love never really goes away, and I didn't believe it until I experienced it for myself. I also didn't believe in love at first sight until it happened to me. I saw you and I knew I would love you for the rest of my life, long after I lost you. A tiny little spark that formed alongside a friendship, turned into a flame that I know I won't be able to blow out.

When you left, you took a piece of me with you. Despite that, your place in my heart still remains. I gave you my heart all those years ago, and you still have it in your pocket. I'll never ask for it back. There are some things you never really get over, and this is one.

The heartbreak was real and the pain was raw. When you said goodbye, I lost myself. My life tumbled out of control and I landed in a dark black tunnel. I've only recently found the light at the end of that tunnel, and crawled my way out. But, here I am still waiting.

I never had a choice in loving you, it was effortless.

For a long time, I was angry and bitter. Just the thought of you, or the mention of your name was enough to put a rain cloud over my head and ruin a perfectly good day. Through all of it, I never stopped loving you. I still haven't. I don't think I could even if I wanted to.

Some may some that I'm crazy for not giving up hope, and maybe I am. Maybe I'm crazy for waiting on the guy that broke my heart, not only once but twice. But if that's the case, then call me crazy. You were such a huge part of my past, and I pray everyday that maybe someday you'll become a part of my future as well.

"You were a beautiful time in my life, and if that's all you'll ever be then that's okay. Not all art is meant to be hung on the same wall forever." - K. Towne Jr

For you, I will always wait.

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.
