Dear Guy whom I have prayed for,

Thank You. Thank you for coming into my life and showing me what it is like to live. Thank you for showing me how to be joyful beyond measure. Thank you for showing me what it is like to be treated me like a woman. You came into my life when I was down and you lifted me off the ground. I would be lying if I said I was okay with us being just friends, because it is obvious that I would love to be able to call you mine and treat you like the man you should be treated.

I prayed for a man like you to come into my life. I prayed for a honest, loyal, humorous man. I prayed for a man that would bring out the real me, the good side of me, and would teach me how to open my heart again. I praise you, you have endured so much and now you have to worry about me. You have seen me at my worst, and now you have seen me at my best. I am my best when you are by my side.

Many men can say that they have seen a woman naked, but not how you have seen me naked. You have seen me at my most vulnerable state. Even with my clothes on, you have seen more of me than anyone else ever will. You saw me naked, but not physically. You have seen me when I was at my lowest. You saw me when I was laying next to you in the dorm lobby on the couch and I was crying. You held my hands and rubbed my back and told me that everything was going to be okay. You are wise beyond your years.

Thank you for willing to see me past all of my flaws.

Thank you for making me talk to you and open up to you even when I didn't want to.

Thank you for continuing to be by my side even when I did open up.

Thank you for believing in me when I did not even believe in myself.

Thank you for showing me that the man that I have prayed for does exist.

Finally, thank you for seeing me past everything I had been through, You did not leave my side even though every other man has.

There is only one thing that could make everything amazing, and that would be me being able to call you mine. But I know that I can't. Because even though you are texting me now and telling me how good of a woman I am, you have commitment issues. I think you are scared that I will leave, but like I have assured you at least three-hundred and seven times, I am not going anywhere. But I do understand where you are coming from, that is why I am not pushy. I am going to give you the time that you need. You are an amazing man. You are humble, you are kind, and you value others opinions more than your own. You are the true image of the guy that I want to spend my time with. I do not believe in love at first sight, but I believe in that click. We had that click. I have only felt that one time in my life, and it was with you.

I will never give up on you. I accept you for you, flaws and all. You tell me that the nice guys always finish last, but I think that the nice girl is finishing last in this race.

No matter what happens, even if we just stay friends and do not become anything more, I will always be thankful that you have came into my life. Do I think that I will ever find someone like you? No, and that is okay. I wouldn't want anyone else but you.

If I could go back and do everything over again, I would do exactly what I did the first time around. I would go through the hardships again if that meant being lead to you. I would make all of the stupid mistakes again if that was what it took. I would not do a single thing differently.

I don't expect you to know that this letter is to you, I don't even expect you to read it. But if you do, just let me say this, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are the only man who has walked into my life and made me think that everything was going to be okay. You have seen me down to my core. You have witnessed me when I am low and when I am happy. You have brought me pure happiness. I will always remember you.

Love Always,

The woman who has prayed for a man like you

1 Corinthians 13:4-8: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

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.
