15 Things You Didn't Realize You Needed To Hear

1. You are worth so much more than you're settling for.

A relationship, a friendship, a job, a school, a state that doesn't make you happy is one that you don't need to be in. Respect yourself enough to make a change.

2. It gets better.

You need to know that there is more to life. You are not alone. Part of life is going through rough patches and that doesn't make you weak.

3. There are things you don't know. Things you will never know. There's still so much to learn.

This is a daunting factor to engage your thoughts with but allow it to excite you rather than scare you.

4. There will always always always be something to do.

Try to not overwhelm yourself.

5. Most things are not life or death.

Take a second to breathe and then attack the problem.

6. Heartbreak can come from friend and family just like with a significant other.

Your heart will heal, sooner than you realize.

7. Live for yourself.

Be a little selfish. The only thing you have forever is yourself.

8. Do whatever you must to be your own best friend.

You deserve to love yourself. To live a life in unity with yourself not fighting your you.

9. Travel. Don't forget to travel.

We get so caught up in what needs to get done that we don't make time to see places and do things. This is is so important.

10. You will not be the person for everyone and that's okay.

To someone that sees you as a penny, another will see you as priceless. Do not get hung up on the one who doesn't see your worth.

11. Work hard. So hard.

If you aren't the best at something naturally then be the hardest worker. This outdoes any natural trait.

12. Fight for what you love and what you believe in.

At the end of the day you don't want to feel as if you fell victim to society or other people's expectations.

13. Be patient.

A true virtue not many have. Great things take time.

14. Push kindness in the world. Especially in times when havoc is everywhere.

It doesn't take much to be kind so do that.

15. Don't stop growing.

Even as you age, do not cap your mental capacity to learn. It is never ending.

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.
