13 Things I Hold Close To Heart
Darcey Filsinger

1) I believe in the importance of being "Switzerland" while exploring each and every endeavor that comes acrossed you.

2) That there is power in words and sometimes they can hurt more than physical confrontation. They could leave or heal invisible scars that no one wants to bring up.

3) I believe in cherishing someone’s time with you. You can never be absolutely sure when your time together will be up. And, it’s important to hold the memories you share close to you, good or bad. They might be some sort of sunshine on a cloudy day, or a lesson you must remember.

4) Teachers. I believe in teachers. I think they don’t get enough credit as they should. They are these very honest people that have pursued some subject that they adore and want to share with you.

5) While I am here, I believe in passion. Not in the sexual way, but in the way that someone lights up when they start talking about something they adore with every fiber of their being. We they get absolutely and utterly tied up in the topic at hand that they just smile and ramble about the inner workings or how they feel when they encounter it.

6) I believe in the feeling that friends give you, when you laugh hard enough to make your sides hurt and you aren’t sure if you can catch your breath, but that doesn’t matter because they make you fearless.

7) All of the forms of love that there could possibly be. The man’s best friend kind, the long talks with your mom kind, and the kind that makes you stumble upon your words because you’re lost in a certain person’s eyes.

But, with all of these wonderful things to think about (and these are just some of the things I could actually put into words),

8) I believe in heartbreak. Enough stated.

9) I believe in the sad days. That sad days are for sad people because you can’t be strong all the time. And it’s so okay to not be okay.

10) And, I believe in the days where you lay on the floor, wishing that the sun wouldn’t rise because you don’t think you could make it to another sunset. Where you have one hand over your mouth to keep someone from hearing your tears, and the other is shifting from your stomach to your heart because they both hurt and you aren’t sure which one deserves the comfort more.

11) I believe in the good and the bad. That they are a chain reaction.

12) And, I believe we all have a path. A destiny, a fate. That we may choose to follow or disregard completely. But, I believe it’s there. And we can either choose to accept it for what it is, make it so much more, or go beneath it. And in each outcome, I believe you could make yourself a damn fool. Or you can make yourself legendary.

But most of all, I believe that there’s always tomorrow. Even if I may not feel like there should be, I believe it’s there. And, I guess that’s why I’m still here. Why I’m still going. Because of the infinite possibilities that tomorrow may bring.

13) I believe tomorrow is a wonderful concept.

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.
