Another Open Letter To You
Mix Cloud

Dear You,

Wow, seriously it's been awhile. When was the last time we talked?... 2015? I'm sorry I took a break for awhile, I really needed to think... and ya know, in that time I've watched you flourish.
Yea, 2016 was a really rough year, I really didn't think it was going to be! It's crazy how true the domino effect can be, how one little thing can make life spiral faster than the galaxy you are in right now. I hope you've been doing well lately, I mean, we are only 2 or so months into 2017, just look at all that you've accomplished!
You've gotten up from bed every day, you've completed your daily tasks, you've eaten, you've slept, you've learned, you've grown.You are in no way the same person that you were the last time we talked, hell I'm probably not the same either, you probably didn't even remember me, but hey, that's okay. I understand, we both saw different people, different things; we gained so much and lost so much at the same time. It's funny to think that is what has morphed into one my own biggest fears. The fear of losing... basically anything.

I think that is the key to overcoming your fears, if you give them power, and trust me! It's really hard not letting the one thing that could affect you most get the best of you. The last time we spoke I told you that I knew how much you were going through already, how much you have been through. You have so much more in store for you, and I'm so proud of you. When all the world's biggest fears come crashing in through the window, and you just want to shut everything out it can be really hard to see all the good that has happened, especially in the past two years, but you can't lose hope.

Losing hope is probably one of the scariest things to experience. It is the epitome of despair, and it can infect everything else in your life. I was there once, everything was so dark that I couldn't even breathe. I was too overwhelmed, and there was too much I buried deep inside me until the pressure was too immense, and one day I just kind of exploded.

Now, let me tell you, from that single explosion created the most powerful, beautiful, and greatest being ever, you. It brought your family, your friends, your experiences, your talents, dreams, fears, every bit of life that you know, and what a big bang that was.
Regardless, if there is anything I want you to remember from what I've learned it is this:“For a star to be born, there is one thing that must happen: a gaseous nebula must collapse. So collapse. Crumble. This is not your destruction. This is your birth.”

Truly forever yours,
The Universe

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.
