A Letter To Family: Related And Unrelated

This is a letter to the family who has been there for me from day one of my life. To my parents, to my grandparents, to my aunts and uncles (the honorary ones too). I want to thank you all for watching my grow every day, helping me learn from my mistakes ranging from drawing on the walls to my first car accident. Thank you for showing me love and compassion even when I acted like someone you would rather not give love and compassion to. Thank you for always being there for me.

This is a letter to the family who grew up with me. To my brothers and sisters, to my cousins. Thank you for being around and growing up with me. Thank you for being my friends and foes all at the same time. Thank you for having fun with me, and also learning with me too. I know some of you more than others, but nonetheless we are all family and I thank you all for being around at all.

An Open Letter To All Of The Amazing People In My Life

An Open Letter To All Of The Amazing People In My Life

This is a letter to the friends I've known for so long they might as well be my family. Thank you to the people I've known as long as I've been alive because our parents were friends and we had no choice but to learn to get along. Thank you to the friends I met in school who have become an insanely huge part of my life today. Thank you to the new friends I've made more recently who are already becoming family to me. You all have helped me grow just as much as the people I'm blood related to, and I thank you for being around.

This is a letter for anyone I've been close to ever. Anyone who hurt me, anyone who I hurt, anyone who I just lost touch with because time changes things. I apologize for any pain I caused anyone, and any pain that has been caused to me has been forgiven, I have not held any grudges. I just want to thank you all for everything we all went through, even the bad times. Every memory has morphed me into who I became today and I thank you all for that.

Thank you to everyone who has entered my life, especially the people who are my family and the people I consider family. I love you all and wouldn't be who I am today without you. If you would also like to thank the people you love, please, pass this on. The people you love should know you love them.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
