We can be so hard on ourselves in our 20's. We're working towards getting a career, making money, moving out, and finding the perfect guy. Life can be stressful. Sometimes we struggle just to stay afloat. However, we need to stop being so hard on ourselves because...

1. Guys aren't everything.

You are strong and can still achieve life without them.

2. You're going to make mistakes, but use them as an opportunity to learn.

Every time we mess up, it's an opportunity to better ourselves.

3. You are beautiful with or without makeup.

Either way, you're still a goddess.

4. Your ex is an ex for a reason.

Yes, some people do get back with their ex and stay with them forever, but it's rare. Leave them in the past and move on. There's plenty of fish in the sea!

5. There are far more important things than getting married and having babies.

It will all come with time, so sit back and enjoy the life you have right now.

6. Cut out all of the negative people in your life.

It might not be easy, but you'll thank yourself later on.

7. Never give up on your dreams for anyone.

If they don't like them, then they're not worth being a part of your life.

8. You might not have your life figured out right now, but that's OK.

It takes time.

9. Failure does not mean you're weak.

It happens to us all.

10. You will never forget your first love.

But they certainly won't be your last.

11. Don't date just to date. It's not worth it.

Spend the weekends taking spontaneous road trips with your friends or volunteering at the animal shelter.

12. It's OK to ask for help.

Sometimes you just can't do it by yourself.

13. You are so much more important than your appearance.

It's the inside that counts, right?

14. People are going to disappoint you.

But don't let them change you or drag you down.

15. Your personal and mental health is important.

DON'T neglect it.

16. You don't have to do something if you don't want to.

You have a mind of your own, so please don't give into peer pressure.

17. You should never settle.

There's someone out there for you, it just takes time to find him.

18. You family will always be there for you.

Just because you're an "adult," that doesn't mean you can't call your mom when you're having a bad day.

19. You don't need a million friends; it's your few close friends that matter.

They're the ones that will have your back at the end of the day.

20. Your 20's will be the best (and worst) years of your life.

Embrace them.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
