There are no words to express how you keep me sane. And how worthy you make me feel. I still cannot grasp how you have the ability to love someone so much. Or how you can laugh at your own jokes. When sometimes they are not even funny (just kidding).

Your flaws are everything to me. Even when you doubt yourself just know that you always have me. Your ability to love me for who I am is insane. I never even knew it was possible for someone to compliment me so much. It is crazy!

You have loved me from the beginning. All the difficult and hard times. Not only that but joyful times too. Through everything.

I was and still am ready to face anything in life with you.

You have loved me harder when I have been at my absolute worst. You have never once doubted me but lifted me up and motivated me to push myself even further. You keep loving me even when there is every opportunity to call it quits. You hold me when I push you away. And keep holding me when I cry.

Not only have you pushed me, you motivate me to make friends when I feel alone. Even at my lowest, you get me to love myself and make me feel beautiful.

And for anyone reading this, people often say there are hard times in relationships — and they are right. I will not believe it for a minute if someone says things are perfect. Everybody goes through things. Times get rocky and upsetting. But I am here to tell you that relationships are about communication with and commitment to one another.

It is the time and effort you both put into it. Even through the rocky and unbearable times, it comes to show how much stronger you guys can become and how strong your relationship is.

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.
