I couldn't imagine growing up without my dogs. My dogs are my best friends, and I love them more than anything. I know so many people that have pets too, like birds, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, the list goes on. Having an animal that looks after you and loves you unconditionally is something unexplainable. The bond I have my dogs is something I would never trade. There is something about coming home, and seeing your pet so excited to see you, that makes you feel so loved.

If you hesitate on getting yourself or your kids a pet, here are 10 reasons why you should get one.

1. Your pet will love you unconditionally.

Every time you come home, they'll be so excited to see you.

2. They will play with you and keep you active.

Most pets love running around and playing with their toys with you, which will keep you moving as well.

3. Your pet will cuddle with you when you're sad.

Animals can sense when their owner is sad, and will try to comfort you by snuggling up and giving you lots of affection.

4. Your pet will never get tired of you.

You are the reason your pet is healthy and happy. They will never forget that and always be happy to see you.

5. They are so adorable.

Pets are just so cute. You fall in love with them instantly and you find them to be perfect.

6. Pets can relieve stress.

Whenever you're stressed or overwhelmed, cut out some time with your pet. Studies have shown that spending time with your pets can reduce your stress.

7. They give you some responsibility.

Pets are an everyday commitment, you need to take care of them so they stay healthy. They're a big responsibility but they are so worth it. And it's a good for kids to learn early how to take care of others.

8. Pets can sense when danger is near.

Animals can sense when something is off, which will protect you from dangers you are not aware of.

9. They remind you that you're never alone.

No matter what, when you get home your pet will be there, ready to love you.

10. They become your best friend.

The bond you will form with your pet will be so strong, they will literally become your best friend.

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.

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.
