An Open Letter To My Boyfriend

Dear the best thing that's ever happen to me,

Where do I begin? Thank you, thank you for being so full of life and positive. For being the hug I need so desperately at the end of a bad day. Being the light at the end of a dark tunnel. I know I show it, but I don't think I show it enough; you're my rock.

You keep me on my toes, you push me to be something that I've always wanted to be. You let me be myself, even though I say some of the most insane things at times. Not many people can put up with me, but here you are everyday-- letting my bad attitude slide by. I'm not saying everyday is sunflowers, but even a day without them is still a good day with you.

It takes a tough person to be able to date me, put up with me, and choose places to eat with me...but look, it can't be that bad. I mean, you're still here, right?

I've never enjoyed someone's presence as much as i enjoy yours. Thank you for making me feel like I fit like the perfect puzzle piece in your life. Thank you for looking forward to the future, giving me a positive outlook on what lies ahead. Thank you for never making me feel like I am too overwhelming (even though we know I can be).

More importantly, thank you for standing by me when times are tough, making fun of awkward situations, and helping me not stay sad for too long. Thank for letting me cry when you know I need it. For letting me take things out on you, even though you didn't do anything wrong. Sometimes, I know I am not understanding, but you let that slide and just agree (probably because it shuts me up). Mostly, thanks for eating my food when I'm not looking, getting dessert with me, and going on food runs at all hours of the night. For surprising me with Icees, chocolates, and Netflix dates.

I don't know what I would do without someone who pushes me off the bed, steals the covers, and wakes me up extra early in the morning. I may look like I don't enjoy it, but it wouldn't be a normal day if that wasn't with you. Although we aren't together all the time, which is fine, I still truly appreciate the time we have.

Just know, no matter what, I am here. I am here for the good, the bad, the fun, the crazy, all of it.

Love,

Your permanent dinner partner.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
