21 Things We Should Say More Often

We say a lot. Through our looks, our acts, and most importantly, through our words. What we say reflects so much about ourselves, and how we respond to our daily life.

Here are 21 things we should say more often:

21. "You're welcome."

This is just polite and nice to hear after someone says thank you.

20. "I need help."

It's OK to admit it. After all, everyone needs help. Sometimes more than others.

19. "Please."

Whatever you're asking for, this might help get you closer to it.

18. "Thank you."

Not just on Thanksgiving or birthdays, but every day. Always stay thankful.

17. "You're great."

Most people are. So why not tell them?

16. "I can."

Why say "I can't" and get that stuck in your head? YOU CAN.

15. "Yes."

Cause why not?

14. "Excuse me."

Promise the looks will be a to nicer than if you don't say it.

13. "You can do it."

Everyone needs some encouragement.

12. "I'm sorry."

It might be tough to say, but so worth it.

11. "I forgive you."

Have a softer heart. I promise it will make life easier.

10. "This will pass."

It may be good, or it may be bad. But it will pass so enjoy it or stick it out, just a little longer.

9. "I'm not perfect."

Even if you think you are, you're not. Everyone has bad days, and hearing someone say this will make you feel less alone on your "not so perfect" days.

8. "You're amazing."

Watch how their face turns into one huge smile after you say this.

7. Nothing.

Sometimes it's better to say too little, than too much.

6. "I care."

Everyone needs someone to care. Even if it's the most unimportant thing to you, care about it.

5. "I don't know."

It's OK. Not everyone knows everything, and that is OK.

4. "You're beautiful."

Everyone is beautiful in their own way, so tell them! (Even if it's a guy.)

3. "Everything will be alright."

It will. I promise.

2. "I'm listening."

How nice is it to hear this when you feel like nobody cares? Pretty nice.

1. "I love you."

Everyone wants to be loved by someone. Tell someone you love them. And mean it.

Say it loud. Say it often. Say it kindly. Say something kind to someone each day. I promise this world can use it, and whoever you speak to, well, it can and probably will, change their whole day.

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.
