The Person God Took Too Soon

You are the angel that is looking out for me

The Person God Took Too Soon
Elyse Moon

You were so young. Nobody was expecting it. But you somehow knew. God told you. He had to. You would say things that led to it but nobody thought about it until it happened. You left us clues. You knew.

I'm in complete awe that you are gone. I know you are happy and free of any pain that this world gave you. I know you are in a better place, but that doesn't help. I went to call you today, and then I realized you wouldn't answer. Reality is finally setting in.

I'm not sure who to call when nobody has time to sit and talk to me like you did. I'm not sure what to do when I realize you're no longer there to be my logical voice. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when your seat is always empty come time for holiday meals.

I feel like I'm living in a nightmare, but it's reality. My best friend is gone.

Our memories will last a lifetime. I will tell many stories about you. You're still here with me. I feel you. I know you're listening. I know you're watching my every move. I know you're fussing at me for crying, but it's something I can't control.

I miss you. I miss your smell. I miss your voice. I miss everything. My life has changed so much, and I can't even tell you about it. I can't ask for your advice. I can't turn to you for help. I want you back.

I know it sounds selfish, but I'm so lost without you. I'm so glad I had the time with you that I did, but it wasn't enough. I need more. I think about you constantly. You haven't left my mind. Where is my guide?

You didn't leave me a roadmap of advice. You didn't give me notice. How was I supposed to know that day we spent together would be our last? I had so many things planned for us to do. I had so many things you were supposed to be there for. But you're gone.

I know you couldn't help it. I know you're going to be there in spirit. I just want to make you proud. I want to be everything you've ever hoped for me to be. I want to make sure you're smiling down on me with nothing but pride. I know you'll always be proud of me, but it would be better if you were here to tell me.

You have a front seat view of my life now. You can see everything. I know you're watching because I feel you. I hear you guiding me. I know you're laughing at me. I know you're always beside me.

You're forever my hero. You're forever my guardian. You are the angel that is looking out for me. You will always be invincible. I will always love you.

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.
