Open Letter to My New Puppy

Dear little fur baby,

I'm so happy I spent so much time finding you, the perfect dog for me. You are just what I hoped you would be: a furry little companion who is just as happy playing on the beach with me as you are snuggling with me when I'm upset. You were the perfect addition to my small little life, and have forced me to consider a few things. I have had to really step up, I cannot just run out the door, anymore. I have to plan things and consider my actions and the amount of time something will take.

After all, you do sleep a lot, but when you are awake you're my little shadow. You have also forced me to be more clean. I now have to budget, as well, and really think about what I'm spending money on, and what toys I should really invest in for you. You are essentially a child, but you're my child so I really don't mind because I have you.

I'm sorry about all the times I've gotten frustrated with you, especially the time you peed on my carpet four times in one day. What I said to you was not kind, and I know that you can't understand, but I know you can figure out voice inflections. I'm also sorry that I spend a good part of my day staring at glowing screens (even now), I know if I didn't have you I would not have as many distractions, and I thank you. I'm glad you do the cute head tilt thing because it, literally, erases all the bad from my day and makes a good one even better. I'm sorry I took you away from your mom, but I hope you're happy here.

You are the best thing that has happened to me in a long time, and you have already changed my life for the better. You encourage me to be more social, especially when you chased the cute boy, who petted you, down the street. You have also made me more patient, and I mean standing in line at the DMV for three hours patient. You can be a handful, but it's worth it because I have you.

The thing that scares me the most, just like any pet owner, is considering the negatives: your death, accidents, or issues that leave me without you. But for right now, I get to live life with you to the max and enjoy something as simple as a game of frisbee in the park or a sunset on the beach with my best friend/child/pet. You've come so far, puppy, and I can't wait to see how you grow, little one.

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.
