10 Reasons To Keep Living
Be Well Buzz

We all face our own battles and demons. Some of us may be struggling with life a little more than the next person. Truth is, we don't ever really know what's going on in someone else's head or what they might be dealing with behind closed doors. But whatever someone is going through, there's always a few good reasons to keep living this beautiful life.


1) You mean so much to someone.

Whether you believe this or not, there is at least one person (and probably many more) who would be devastated without your existence.

2) Most of us haven't even lived half of our lives yet.

There is so much more time for greatness and happiness. Be there to experience it.

3) Change can happen in a blink of an eye.

You're allowed to change your life around however you want, whenever you want.

4) Your future may be brighter than you think.

Possibly a mini you and the person you love could be running around a few years down the road.

5) There are many people you probably love on this earth and just imagine all those things you will miss in their lives if you leave them.

Weddings, graduations, perhaps the birth of a child. You should be there to experience the happiest of moments of your loved ones.

6) Traveling is good for the soul.

And there are endless amounts of places to go to. Don't miss out on this beautiful world.

7) Love.

Maybe you haven't met "the one" yet, but when you do it may change everything. Love is so strong and beautiful. The person you're meant to be with is out there.

8) Completing milestones!

Life is all about milestones. Graduating high school or college, being hired at your dream job, or buying your first car, maybe even apartment.

9) That one person -- or maybe a few people -- that mean something to you.

Keep fighting and living for them.

10) For the journey.

Life is all about unexpected twist and turns, be there to experience what's next.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
