What I Would Tell You If You Were Still Here

The things I never got to tell you before you left

What I Would Tell You If You Were Still Here
Cassidy Barker

If you were still here there are so many things I would tell you, and so many things I would ask you. My time with you was cut short, and I cannot wait to see you again soon, to tell you everything I want to tell you and ask you everything I want to know.

1. I would tell you how much I love you.

Because I never expected you to leave so early, I never got to tell you how much I love you. Even though there are not enough days in the world that define how much I love you, I still never told you enough.

2. I want your advice.

I want your advice on everything. What I should study in college, who I should vote for, who I should marry. Not only do I need your advice, I need your opinion. I want to know what you think about everything. I need to know what you think about the news, me joining a sorority, my choice in boyfriends, my outfit, everything.

3. I want you to know how much I miss you.

I want you to know how hard it was/is to live without you. It will not ever be the same. The laughs will never be the same, the smiles will never be the same. Going swimming without you will never be the same. Finding myself without you has been the hardest.

4. I want you to know how much of an impact you made.

I grew up always looking up to you. Always being your little girl. You were always my best friend. I watched you make huge impacts in other people's lives. I watched you love everyone fearlessly. I watched you defend and live out your faith. I watched you always do what was right. I grew up wanting to be like you. I wanted everyone to love me like they love you, I wanted to make a difference. I want to live like Jesus like you did. I still want that, I learned everything from you, and though I fail many days, I still strive every day to be like you.

5. Your death made me stronger.

Your death was something I never thought I would live through. I didn't think I could live without you, I didn't think this world needed me without you. But, the things you always taught me, I really learned after you passed. I learned to rely on Jesus for everything, I learned to live out my Faith like you did, I learned to love like you did. You leaving was one of the worst things ever imaginable, and it's still difficult, but no doubt it has made me stronger.

These are just a few of the things I would tell you if you were still here. These are the things I want you to always know and never forget.

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.
