A Diamond In the Rough

Reason Why I'm Thank For You

A Diamond In the Rough

I normally don’t write this kind of mushy stuff but sitting here with you makes me realize all the reasons why I'm thankful for you. 11 months ago when we met upon stricken faith you were broken hearted over an ex and I was hopelessly falling into depression again. At the time it was nice for both of us to find someone to just talk to about everything. But then as time went on it went from just talking to someone, to needing you around.

Before you, I didn’t know the first thing about being in a relationship. I also didn’t know how to love myself or for that matter love others. I was burned badly in my past just like you and I was trying to pick up the pieces. You helped me even though you barely knew me at the time and you told me it was all going to be alright. I’m thankful for that. I’m thankful for the countless times you waited patiently as I couldn’t decide where to eat. I’m thankful for every moment you had to take a step back because I was overthinking every situation. I’m thankful that even though distance is hard on us most times, you stuck through it with me. 11 months ago, I never would’ve thought I’d be standing here today 10 months into our relationship now.

As cheesy as this is, sometimes finding a diamond in the rough really works. Together we picked ourselves up and made each other better people, we grew to love each other and continue to fight even if the distance is hard. Sometimes when all odds are against you, you fight harder for what you want and love. I’m only 19 so I don’t know where the future is going to take us with college and on, but I do know right here standing with you the view is pretty damn great.

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.
