2. "The cure for the pain is in the pain." - Rumi

Often times, when we go through things it seems like we will never get out of that headspace. Do some inner work and ask yourself why you are going through what you are. Usually, the answer is in the pain itself.

3. "Everything that you're going through is preparing you for what you asked for." - Unknown

View your life as a constant journey. The things that you thought would break you are preparing you for everything you've dreamed of. Try to remember that this pain will be useful one day.

4. "You are growing in ways you don't realize yet." - Unknown

We usually do not understand why certain things in our lives had to happen until we look back. Be grateful for what you're going through because it will make you stronger.

5. "Your crown has been bought and paid for. All you have to do it put it on." - James Baldwin

You are here for a reason and you have a purpose. All you have to do is realize it.

Hopefully these quotes will help you get through your growing pains. Remember that nothing is permanent and that the only think consistent in life is change. You may be suffering now but it won't last forever. Keep your head up because things will get better!

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.
