To The One Who Left Me Too Soon

To the woman who showed me compassion and love.

How do you even start this?

Where do I begin?

You loved me unconditionally from the moment you met me. You wanted to be with me every minute and I am forever grateful. You made an impact on me that I can't even imagine the world without.

As a child we spent many days watching movies and playing games. I will always remember riding the roads and visiting people. Swimming all summer long was my favorite.

You and I were more like sisters than cousins. We helped each other shop for clothes and accessories. We would swap clothes back and forth between us two. We always kept each other uplifted. I be damned if anyone were to mess with you. You helped intensify that phrase "family means everything".

I look back on a couple of times ditching school and sleeping in at your house, only for you and Thomas to tell me I needed to go and be somebody. You both always wanted the best for me. I will never forget that.

Going to shows with you were highlights in my life. If for no other reason, I lived for driving down to Huntington with you and Thomas jamming out and talking about life. You were the person who made shows a big part of my life. I've seen many bands and experienced many fun things with you.

I have so many secret memories to look back on and smile. Don't worry sis I got my lips sealed. Those are times are for when I meet you again in the afterlife. There are so many secrets you took to the grave. You always listened to everything I had to said. You were the first adult to know I smoked. Believe it or not, it was you who finally pushed me to tell mom.

I can't help but feel regret when I think of all the time I lost with you. Some of the regrets I have will stick with me for life. Not being at the hospital in time. Not seeing you while you were severely ill in the hospital. Letting some dumb bimbo come between me and the person who meant the world to me. My heart breaks for the time I spent away because of somethings that were just so stupid. I just hope and pray you always remembered I loved you.

You were and forever always will be my best friend. I can't believe you've been gone so long. Keep my seat warm chick.

I 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.
