You Are Beautiful, But You Are More Than That

This was on my mind for about twelve hours now.

All you said was that you enjoyed my writing. The way my words were splattered onto paper as if there was an actual crime scene on my piece. I wanted to tell you that it wasn't a big deal, but you said otherwise. Not a lot of people have seen my work, yet you've decided that I was the creator of English literature.

You hinted, not subtly, to write about you one day. What would I write about you? The way your eyebrows furrowed so gently when I told you I couldn't concentrate? Or what about the way you yawned so quietly, making your eyes smaller? "Do you even think of me to write about me?" you asked. I don't think about your beautiful brown eyes, ready to be delved in. I don't think about the way you smile, making your very vibrant teeth show off even more.

I think about your stories, and the great detail you put into that one moment. It almost makes me feel like I was there. I think about your heart, always trying to put emphasis on why life should be experienced in its full glory. I think about the amount of sleep you get and how your day was. I think about how you may be a little older than me, but it doesn't change the fact that I still get worried about you. Your hands tell me stories that I know you don't want to converse about, but you acknowledge that you were there.

The time gaps between our messages are a great amount, but I know you want to make a better life for your mother. You are beautiful, indeed. But you're more than that. I hate to admit it, but I like you. All you said was that you enjoyed my writing, but I wanted to say I enjoy the thought of you.

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.
