An open letter to you.

You know this letter is for you and I want to tell you one thing – you aren’t alone!

I have been there myself. I loved people who did not love me back. I sent double texts and didn’t receive any. I gave people second chances even when they didn’t deserve one. I let people walk all over me and still allowed them to come back into my life.

I have been in your shoes!

I have loved boys who didn’t deserve my love. I thought that if I loved them enough, they would eventually love me back. Boys who made me think something was wrong with me. Boys who made me change myself to their liking.

But darling, please don’t do this to yourself. You will find someone who will love you for you. And that person will not only love you, he will respect you and your decisions. Wait for him!

I had also diligently stalked that girl’s Instagram and then cried myself to sleep. For various reasons – I wasn’t pretty enough, my face wasn’t symmetrical enough, my hair wasn’t long enough, I wasn’t rich enough. There was always a long list of the things I lacked. But in 20 years, will any of that matter? Just because I’m not like her doesn’t mean I’m not good enough. It just means I’m different. And who said different is bad?

I had let people treat me like a doormat and still never got rid of them. Instead I would think highly of them and how they make their opinions matter. They would claim that I was a good shoulder to cry on but the truth was that when they were angry, I was their punching bag.

But then I realized that the God who made this entire universe has made you and me and he would never create something faulty.

So girl, never forget that you are a beautiful individual  – inside and out. Your opinions matter. You are more than ‘good enough’, you are fantastic. And the one person who should love you the most should be you!

Love,

Your secret admirer

Snake Island (Ilha da Queimada Grande)

Snake Island (Ilha da Queimada Grande) Off-limits and full of venomous pit vipers, Snake Island's nickname is frighteningly apt.  Off the shore of Brazil , almost 93 miles away from downtown São Paulo, is Ilha da Queimada Grande, also known as “Snake Island.” The island is untouched by human developers, and for a very good reason. Researchers estimate that on the island live between one and five snakes per square meter. The snakes live on the many migratory birds (enough to keep the snake density remarkably high) that use the island as a resting point.    “Between one and five snakes per square meter” might not be so terrible if the snakes were, say, two inches long and nonvenomous. The snakes on Queimada Grande, however, are a unique species of pit viper, the golden lancehead. The lancehead genus of snakes is responsible for 90 percent of Brazilian snakebite-related fatalities. The golden lanceheads that occupy Snake Island grow to w...

An Open Letter to High School Students

this is a letter intended for high school students everywhere. Maybe this applies to you and maybe not. Maybe you read it and think back to your high school days and realize, “that was so me.” Maybe not. Either way, read this with an open mind, an open heart, and minimal eye rolling please. Because I’m telling you the secrets behind me being a highschool student; all the deep dark truths behind my methods and strictness that you might not realize. I’m speaking to you frankly because I know you’re equipped to take a real assessment of yourself after being confronted from a place of care. In fact, school isn’t even your great challenge, can you believe it? Life is. You know, that “life” that exists beyond the brick walls of our school, the one that is going to throw you way more curve balls than the drama you immerse yourself in? There are more important issues that wait for you, far greater than feeling tempted to cut corners, cheat, or maybe even lie to turn in a 10 point homework...
