Because sometimes you need reminders

An Open Letter To My Boyfriend

First, I want to start by saying thank you. Thank you for putting up with me for so long, and willingly doing it time and time again. Thank you for always standing by my side and supporting me. Thank you for being the most truthful and loyal person I know. Thank you for teaching me how to love myself.

While I could go on, I will cut it a little short. I know that each and every day I take our relationship for granted. I always see people so upset that they can't find someone who will love them like they want. I see couples who have no trust and struggle day in and day out to make it work. I have never once felt like I could not trust you, and for that I will forever be grateful.

You have taught me some of the most important lessons in my life. You showed me that no matter what people have or will say about me, I control how I feel about myself. I am in control of how I view myself. You showed me that the flaws others see doesn't have to be what I see as well. You've given me more confidence than I ever imagined. You've taught me to embrace who I am.

You taught me to never, ever give up. No matter what you want in life, fight for it. You're constantly encouraging me and reminding me of goals I have set for myself. While sometimes I get a little frustrated when you remind me about eating healthy and all I want is a cheeseburger, I am still very thankful.

You showed me God's love in a way that I had never experienced before. I have watched you grow and transform into such a Godly man. You've kept me strong in my faith and made sure that God was at the center of our relationship.

So while I sit back and giggle at the fact that I am actually dating such a hottie, (but for real though) I am so much more thankful to say I am dating such a wonderful man. Thank you for all the love you show me and the joy you bring me each and every day. I couldn't imagine my life without you by my side. Thank you for being my best friend.

I love you.

Love,

Your girlfriend.

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.

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.
