To The Boy Who Stole My Heart

Hey.

I'm feeling pretty sentimental this holiday season, so I figured this week's article should be pretty sappy. The truth is, my life has changed drastically in the last couple of years, and not all of it was good. I've been through some of the toughest things in my life, and even now I'm still healing. These thoughts weigh heavily on me this time of year, because the holidays aren't what they used to be now that I've grown up and things in my personal life are so different. That being said, only one thing has remained consistent: you.

Happy Birthday to the Love of My Life

Happy Birthday to the Love of My Life

This will be our third Christmas together, and I'm so happy to be celebrating it on our own, and in our own apartment. I can't believe how far we've come since the giggles and inside jokes of high school. That being said, there are some things I wanted to thank you for.

Thank you for always being by my side, through thick and thin. I know the last couple of years have been crazy, but you've never given up on me, and that says a lot.

Thank you for making me laugh. No matter how upset or stressed out I am, you always find a way to put a smile on my face.

Thank you for proving that you're serious about me. You budget, and work hard, and plan for our future. You make me feel so secure in our relationship because you invest yourself so deeply.

Thank you for being patient with me, and dealing with all of my temper tantrums. I know I can be incredibly difficult, but somehow you always know how to fix it. (On this note, thanks for all the Starbucks.)

Thank you for helping me prove everyone wrong. So many people thought that our high school relationship couldn't last, but it did. We've only become stronger. Thank you for sticking it out through the tough times so that we could make it here.

Finally, and probably the most important, thank you for making me feel safe. You honestly are my rock. I know that you'll always be here to protect me. You have been the consistency that my life has needed lately, and I'll forever be grateful to you.

You truly are my best friend, and I don't know what I would do without you. Thanks again for everything. I love you so much.

Merry Christmas,

Me

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
