A Letter To The Person With An Open Heart
msecnd.net

If you took the time to read this article, then you are probably the kind of person who falls in love quickly, deeply and with everything that you have. In today's tinder-driven world, having a heart like this can be dangerous. It leaves you susceptible to getting hurt far more than someone who never takes down their walls. Having the ability to take a chance this great speaks volumes to the kind of person you are and your relationship to the world you are surrounded by.

If you have an open heart, you love differently. You are the one who would drop anything to be there for someone, no matter what you had going on in your own life. Whether it's two in the afternoon or two in the morning, you are the person who not only answers their phone, but stays with the person on the other end until you are absolutely positive that they are alright. You never forget the difference between making time to speak to your loved ones and only speaking to them when you have the time.

If you have an open heart, you are affected by your past, but not restrained by it. This is not to say that you don't remember every time you had your heart broken-- you have the ability to vividly recall the pain that came as a direct result of loving "too much." With this in mind, you are one of the bravest people in the world for taking the same chances again.

If you have an open heart, you believe firmly in forgiveness and second chances. You are inclined to believe in others, even when they don't believe in themselves. This optimism is what makes you the person that no one forgets. Your encouragement and love leaves the kind of impact that is never erased no matter how many years pass by.

If you have an open heart, you must know how to recognize when others begin taking you for granted. The love you offer is a unique love that not every person can handle. Learn how to distinguish those who give you what you give them, and those who consistently take and leave you feeling empty.

I have had my heart broken in relationships, but I have refused to let this make me a bitter person. I believe that never being afraid to fall in love is what allowed me to find someone who loves me for everything I am and everything I am not-- a person who values, respects and encourages me with the same open heart that I have always tried to keep.

Your open heart is beautiful. In a world that has become cold and detached, you have managed to maintain something that so many have lost. Don't allow anyone or any experience to change the way you see the world and those who live in it. Never forget that if people began to adopt your mindset and courage, our world would become a vastly better place.

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.
