An Open Letter to the Next Guy I Let In

Dear Next Guy I Let In,

I don't say this like you are the next in line or something, but to the guy who comes into my life next. I do not know when this will be, or if I will even be expecting it, but know this: if I let you in do not take it lightly. I do not let anyone in easily, and I have to see a great deal in you to do so. It may take me longer to let you in than what you think it should. That is because the last guy I let in was someone who I thought I should, but in the end just ended in much pain.

I do not expect you to help mend the wounds of the last person or even understand when I cannot do some things just yet. I just ask for you to be patient with me and be there. Eventually, I will let you in and it will be amazing.


I can care for you so much deeper than you would think and some days more than you deserve, but that won't matter to me. Because to me, you will always deserve it.

Be open with me because I am being open with you. Do not keep things from me because I am a big girl and can handle it. I know hurt and a little hurt every now and then is way better than a ton of hurt at once. I cannot take much more hurt in my life.

I cannot wait to meet you and see where we will go. Just know that I am working on the things that have been issues in the past and I am only human. I know that you are only human too and will make mistakes, but we can work them out. I just want to see you strive in life as I strive beside you.

I can be your biggest cheerleader, do not take advantage of this. I will be there cheering through failures and success.

I will let you in, it will just take time.

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.
