A Open Letter to Those Who Have Stuck by Me

Ev·er·last·ing

( Lasting forever or for a very long time )

A fragile term I choose to use for a handful of people in my life, and for those people reading this. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This one’s for you.

From numerous breakups and passings, to prom pictures and birthdays. You have made the decision to stick by my side through it all. Even when our friendship has been at its lowest and time would play its part in bonding us. We always somehow found our way back to each other. And as for when our relationship is at its highest, we grow stronger each and every day.

Even waking up everyday and feeling the sting of pain, on my weakest days, you were right there with “Good morning” texts. The feeling of security that rushed through my body with the words appearing on my screen. It sends a message that you are going out of your way first thing in the morning to make sure I am taken care of. And for that, I will forever in a sense fall in love with our friendship over and over again.

You mean more to me than the air I breathe, and the ground I walk upon. Because without you I don’t see light or hope. Without the simplest hellos and the hardest goodbyes how could I possibly know what true love and dedication felt like. Between me and you, you turned my demons away and in came the angels. You have changed me in ways you can never fathom.

For every key there is a lost heart awaiting to be unlocked, to be loved. I was that heart, and you were the key. When I had said that I didn’t have the strength to pull through or continue, you responded with these exact words.

“You can be tired, and weak, but I promised myself that I would carry you throughout your days. I am never leaving and that is a vow I'm more than willing to stand by.”

Never forget that you are deeply appreciated, and I will always love you.

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.
