15 Beautiful Little Moments We All Take For Granted

We all have a tendency to get caught a little too caught up in life. Whether it's work, school, or other responsibilities, it's all too easy to let yourself get caught up without stopping to look around. However, it's often the smallest moments of life that are the most beautiful, and it is important that we don't let the speed of life cloud these moments. It's important for all of us to stop and notice these moments before life passes us by. Here are 15 small-yet wonderful- moments we should stop taking for granted.

1. The first sip of a coffee that tastes just right.

2. Moments of perfect silence.

3. When the temperature is right in between hot and cold.

4. When you become so engrossed in a book that you forget where you are for a moment.

5. When you smile without even noticing you're smiling.

6. When you hear a favorite song for the first time.


7. When the sun has dipped below the horizon line but it's not quite dark.


8. When the water is in rhythm


9. When you feel the warmth of an animal by your side.


10. Biting into a food that's just the right texture.


11. Hanging out with someone for the first time.


12. Discovering a cool store.


13. Finding the right words for how you feel.


14. Sitting by yourself and just watching.


15. Understanding that the most beauty comes from the little things in life.

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. 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.
