An Open Letter To My Worn Down Heart

I know your tired, and worn, and torn, but you will make it.

An Open Letter To My Worn Down Heart
google

Since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, I thought I'd write a letter to my heart.

Dear heart,

You know what you want. I know what you want. But we both know we don't always get what we want. So please stop confusing your wants with your needs because it is only causing a mess for you in the end.

Sometimes I wish that you could love like all the other girls your age, why do you have to love so strongly? Why if you feel something does is take complete control over you. When you're sad, you can't just be sad. You are destroyed and upset, and sometimes I just don't know how to help you. I wish you could find a puppy love relationship like other girls, but you like real, and deep relationships and I mean I can't blame you. It's basically my fault. So let's just hold off until something great comes around.

You have been shattered and slowly been put back together time after time but the people are using school glue when they need to be using gorilla glue, and I feel like if you break one more time you just might not make it. So for me, could you please just let go of the things you create in your mind, and let go of the people who are no good, and search just a little bit harder for more of God because he is all you really need to become one again. I see you trying so hard to be happy, when genuinely happy was never an option for us. I am so glad that you have began to learn your worth, and you no longer settle for boys who you know are only going to hurt you in the end.

It's been great watching you grow bigger and bigger, and going from so cold to so cozy. You have been doing a lot of good things to help stay whole. It makes me sad because I know you try so hard to do your best at everything, and even then it's sometimes not enough. You haven't been at your best in a long time, but just the effort you put in is incredible.

I know your tired, and worn, and torn, but you will make it and life will be great one day. Don't ever give up, until the day I die. ;)

Sincerely, Your Person

XOXO Mic

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.

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.
