To The Person Who Came Into My Life When I Needed It The Most Without Realizing It
Ashlie Boothe

Dear Person,

I can't thank you enough for coming into my life. When we first met, I had no idea you'd be so important to me, like you are now. It's hard to put into words how thankful and blessed I am God put you into my life. I never dreamed in a million years I'd ever meet someone as great as you. People like you only come around once in a lifetime, and if you're lucky enough that person will become not only your best friend, but also like a sister, and I'm glad that person is you.

Before we met, I was going through a very difficult time in my life, I had just finished up my freshman year of high school, my self-esteem was in the toilet, due to constant bullying and teasing, and 10 months before our encounter, my world was shattered when I unexpectedly lost my grandfather, who was more than a grandfather, but he was also my best friend. When he died, I felt as if part of me died right along with him. After he died, I felt myself growing more and more depressed. I felt worthless inside, I honestly wanted to give up, that was until one day something in me said: "enough is enough, stop feeling sorry for yourself." I knew I had to listen to that little voice in my head, so I began to pray.

I prayed every day, asking God to please send me someone special, someone for me to call a friend, not really expecting anything to happen, but nearly after a year of constant praying, I met the most sweetest and down to earth person in the world, but little did I know at the time, we were going to be forever friends. The day we met is a constant reminder that there are still good people in this world, no matter how young or old they are, and if God feels the need, He will bring them to you, God's timing is always right, even when you don't expect it.

Even though you're younger than me, you've taught me so much, in the past few years, you've become my teacher, my best friend, and my sister. You're the greatest gift God has ever given me, I Love You! Thank You for being the person who came into my life when I needed it without realizing it.

Proverbs 17:17

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
