An Ode To Those In Long Distance Relationships

You guys are the real heroes.

I’ve had to have a long distance relationship since December and I can say it’s by far, the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.

I don’t know how some people can do long distance for years. This has been one of the most emotionally exhausting times. You guys are saints that can do this for years.

My boyfriend and I were only dating 3 months at the time we were forced in to long distance. We’ve tried writing letters, we’ve tried looking forward to our “us time”, we have tried everything the articles say online, but there’s just this constant nagging pain when we are apart and I’ve read that it’s normal to have, but there must be some way to cope with it.

You who do long distance for longer term must be superhuman. I support you fully, but as a girl who loves her cuddles, I don’t know how you do this. I miss him all the time, and it’s not a normal miss. It’s an overly needy miss, it’s like someone has stolen my best friend. This has been the longest time of my life.

I miss him every day. I don’t understand how you in long distance relationships can function. I feel so miserable with out him. Yeah, okay, you have to, but more times than not all I want to do is call out every day and burn my vacation time. So to you people who manage long term, long distance relationships, I wish you the best, and you all have the patience of a saint.

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.
