11 Reasons Family Is The Most Important Thing In Your Life

We all have the things and people that we think we need. Whether it is an object, a significant other for the time being, or those friends that we think we will last forever. When these temporary things are gone, we have our family to fall back on.

1. Family will always be there.

When our hearts are broken or we need someone to talk to, our families are always one call away and they will never leave.

2. They know us better than anyone else.

Family members are the ones to watch us grow and change, so they are the only ones to know us for who we really are, and love us anyway.

3. Forever friends.

Our family will always be the people that we can tell anything to. We can cry to them or laugh with them until our stomach hurts. We have friendship within our blood.

4. We have people to make memories with

On the holidays, birthday celebrations, etc., we have family to spend these special times with, making memories that will last forever.

5. Blood is thicker than water

No matter who enters our lives, family runs through our blood, putting them above anyone else.

6. Laugh until we cry

With our family, we can laugh until we cry over the silliest or most embarrassing moments that only they know about.

7. Moral Support

For any big milestone, celebration, or even the smallest thing, our family members are always right behind us for support.

8. They stay with us wherever we may go

No matter where life takes us, our family stays in our hearts forever.

9. Shoulder to lean on

When things get too tough and we need a shoulder to lean on, family is always there.

10. They love us no matter what

No matter what mistakes we make, poor judgments that are made, or how many times screw up, family is the people that will love us no matter what.

11. We carry on

After this lifetime, we are carried on through our families, whether its by genetics, ancestory, or even just our memories. Family allows us to stay alive.

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.
