A Thank You To Those Who Stayed
Alexandra Baldwin

This is a thank you to those of you who stuck by my side when I needed you the most. During that time, you brought me light, love, smiles and laughs that made my belly ache. You reminded me it’s not a bad life, just a bad day. You know who you are and I hope you know how thankful I am for you. I’m not sure I would have survived without your constant love and support.

Thank you for the comfort you brought me during my dark days. Thank you for your shoulder and for wiping away the tears for me. Thank you for holding me during the middle of the night while I was sobbing on the floor. Thank you for the hugs, even though I hate being touched.

A Thank You Letter To My Person

Thank you for your ears that have listened to all the harsh and negative words. I’m sure it gave you a headache time and time again.

Thank you for your words of advice and encouragement. I do listen, even when it seems like I’m ignoring you.

Thank you for your hands, which helped guide me to brighter days. Hands that never let me stray too far from who I am. Hands that will continue to lead me in the right direction.

Thank you for showing me I have strength to move mountains and encouraging me to do so every day. Thank you for never letting me give up on myself. Thank you for always giving me that extra push I needed, even if I didn’t appreciate it at the time.

Most importantly, thank you for the endless love that you still give me. I know I was a nightmare for a long time, but you didn’t give up on me. I appreciate you tremendously. With you I have found my forever friends, and I am so blessed.

Thank you.

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.

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.
