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

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

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.
