An Open Letter To My Bed At Home

You're always there to catch me when I fall...asleep.

An Open Letter To My Bed At Home
http://mattrothphoto.photoshelter.com/

Hello,

It's me. I was wondering if after all this time you'd like to meet, to go over everything? All Adele aside, I know there are somethings we have to talk about. First and foremost I want you to know that what you may have heard is true, I've been sleeping with someone else. I don't want to lie to you, you know I care about you way too much to ever break that trust. I know I'm in the wrong here; it honestly isn't you, it's me. I understand that doesn't excuse my actions but I wanted to at least explain myself because I feel you deserve it.

I know we both said we could totally do this long distance relationship thing, but I'm not as strong as you think I am. I have wants and needs, and I really don't like sleeping on the floor. What happened between me and this other bed, I want you to understand it meant nothing. You're still my number one babe and you always will be. If it makes you feel any better, sleeping on this twin size mattress has made me appreciate you that much more.

I should thank you more and I'm sorry that I haven't. You're always there for me at the end of a long day and you don't even mind when I stumble in slightly intoxicated at varying hours of the night. You seem to always put me before you and I truly appreciate that. Thanks for still staying with me even after seeing me cry.

If you'd do me the honor of granting me a second chance, I'd love to prove to you just how much you mean to me. I know sometimes you get jealous when I leave you on sunny days, but if staying inside with you all summer is what it'll take to mend this relationship then I'm willing to go to that length for you. In just a few short weeks I'll be back at home, our home, and I won't leave you again. Well, actually, unless I get that summer position up at school, and in that case, we'd have to cherish the few short weeks we have together. I know you don't want me to go, but deep down we both know this job would get us to the financial state we're longing to be at. I could finally get you that Vera Bradley blanket you've been wanting for so long. Remember, distance makes the heart grow fonder.

I know you have a lot to think about and I don't blame you if you don't want to speak for awhile. Just know that I never meant to hurt you and you always have a special place in my heart.

Much love,

Your Person

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.
