To The Man Who Saved A Sinking Ship

You took my hand and never let go

There are some things in our lives we keep buried deep inside. You were brave enough to uncover everything I had hidden away from this world. You took all those things and picked them out one by one. It took a lot of time, patience, hugs and tears but you proceeded to love me unconditionally.

We grab ahold of things that bring us comfort, and you have held my hand throughout it all. You have let me dance in the rain, sing at the top of my lungs, took care of me when I was sick, and sat at every doctor's appointment by my side. You kept composer during the times I was falling to pieces, which seem like a lot.

You have woken up every day for the past 465 days with the same love and compassion. Each day you have made me smile at least once contrary to what you may believe. I smiled when you first said you loved me, I smiled when you wisphered the words beautiful, and I smile when you give me the world's biggest hugs. I smile because you know how to treat me. I smile because you are my reason to.

We have spent close to two years learning what our likes, dislikes and pet peeves are when it comes to us. We have took that time to always let each other know that we are loved by one another. We have fulfilled at least one of our dreams since being together. During that time frame we have built each other to become stronger, and more loving towards each day that comes our way.

You took the hardest job knowning it would not be easy. You saved my ship of troubles from sinking, you threw out my life jacket knowing I could not swim. I appreciate that you are mine. To the moon and back with love.

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.
