First Stop: Surround yourself with those who make you happy. Because life is just too fucking short. As Bob Dylan would say:

"Be groovy or leave, man.

"


Second Stop: Love is cruel, and everyone at sometime in their life plays the fool.

“You can never be wise and be in love at the same time.”

Third Stop: The media lies.

"A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall means something's gonna happen. In the last verse, when I say, 'the pellets of poison are flooding the waters,' that means all the lies that people get told on their radios and in their newspapers."


Fourth Stop: Humility is a truly great quality to have. The strongest people I know have shown it in the quiet corners of the day when no one was watching.

"I think it's wrong for a person to talk about themselves. A person's life speaks for itself. If you've done good things people will spread the news, and if you've done bad things people will spread the news too."




Fifth Stop: You can write a poem and be a poet or...

"You don't necessarily have to write to be a poet. Some people work in gas stations and they're poets. I don't call myself a poet because I don't like the word."



Sixth Stop: Money isn't everything.

"You can have the best there is. But it's gonna cost you all your love. You won't get it for money."


Seventh Stop: Keep that inner child inside of you, forever.

"I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."


Eight Stop: The friends that are for life are the ones that are always by your side in the worst moments of your life and the friends who leave:

"got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend. When I was down you just stood there grinnin'."


Ninth Stop: Pain really is beauty.

“Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.”


Tenth Stop: Life is like a train. On the journey, you lose yourself and yet find something new about yourself. We all get lost sometimes.

"Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost. "

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.
