With the season six finale of Once Upon A Time, we got some news. Jen Morrison, Ginny Goodwin, Josh Dallas, and much of the main cast will not be returning for season seven whether they chose not to sign back on like Jen did or the writers asked them not to. This being said, we got a pretty fantastic ending, didn't we? Not to mention the sneak peek of what season seven will have to offer. After six seasons though, Once Upon A Time has really given us some great quotes to remember and live by.

1. "All magic comes with a price." - Rumplestiltskin

One of the most famous lines in the show. Rumple and the rest of the fairytales constantly remind us that there is no true magical solution to our problems, even in a world with magic.

2. "True love isn't easy, but it must be fought for because once you find it, it can never be replaced." - Prince Charming


Never has a fairytale love been more realistic and relatable than those shown in Once Upon A Time. Not only do they have true love, but they have to work for their love.

3. "Your happy ending may not be what you expect. That is what will make it so special." - Snow White


And your happy ending is not an ending, only a happy beginning.

4. "If you want to change things, you're going to have to go out there and change them yourself because there are no fairy godmothers in this world." - Emma Swan


No one who wanted to change the world just sat around complaining about how much it sucks, they got up and did something about it.

5. "The only way to overcome fear is to face it." - Regina Mills


Even before she was queen, Regina was pretty wise.

6. "People are going to tell you who you are your whole life. You just got to punch back and say, 'No, this is who I am.'" - Emma Swan


Don't ever let anyone make you into someone you're not.

7. "We all get a second chance. You just have to open your eyes and see it." - Robin Hood


Sometimes we miss the things right in front of us when we're too worried about our past.

8. "So long as you live in the past, you'll never find your future." - Rumplestiltskin

When we're worried about the past, we can never move on.

9. "It is dangerous to confuse vengeance with justice." - Mulan

Don't think revenge will make you happy or that it is necessary because often it will not and is not.

10. "You can do anything as long as you can dream it." - Astrid

This show is really good about teaching us how dreams can come true.

11. "No one decides my fate but me." - Belle


You are the only person who can decide what you do with your life.

12. "If there is one thing I've gleaned from you hero types is that there is always hope." - Killian Jones


The theme of this show is hope and to never lose it, even when you think there's none.

13. "Darkness never wins. It just fools you into thinking it does." - David Charming


This show constantly teaches us that good will always find a way, even when everything looks bleak.

Now as we await to see what direction Once Upon A Time will take, we can take away these lessons and keep them close to our hearts. See you all after the hiatus.

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.
