An Open Letter To My Boyfriend Before He Is Deployed For 6 Months
Nicole Ventura

Zach,

I feel like it was just yesterday I was saying goodbye to you for bootcamp, for 3 months. Now your leaving for 6 months, it's going to be hard, but I want you to know I will be fine.

The past year and a half has been a roller coaster for the both of us and so many people had their doubts, but we proved them wrong. It's going to be different for the both of us. It's going to be hard for the both of us, but in the end, it will make us stronger.

I'm going to be focusing on school and your going to be focusing on work. Were both going to have bad days and those days are going to test us, but we will get through them. There are going to be good days as well, but they are not going to be the same without you.

It scares me not seeing you for 6 months because that's half of a year. I know you're going to be safe. This is just a big change and were going to have to adapt to it. Right now it seems like the worst thing in the world, but I'm sure in the end everything will work out how it's suppose to.

While everyone looks at us like we are crazy, you comfort me and tell me how everything will workout. Right now all we can do is play it by ear and see what happens.

I'm sure I'll be thinking about you all the time and you will be doing the same. This is our chance to focus on our own goals. I'm so proud of all your accomplishments so far and am excited to see what other things you will accomplish while you are away.

This is just temporary. Don't worry about me. I love you! Have an amazing time!

Love Always,

Nicole

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.
