5 Things To Remember When You're Feeling Down

Everyone knows that life can be a rollercoaster—one minute you might be having the time of your life but the next moment, everything just isn't as wonderful as it seems. Maybe something happens unexpectedly or maybe things just aren't going your way and you feel as if the whole world is just crumbling around you. So here are five things to remember when you are feeling blue:

1. It's not the end of the world.

Yeah, it might really suck right now, but you have to remember it's not going to last forever. Don’t let it get the best of you. Try to keep striving on. It is easier said than done, but just remember in time it will get better. I promise.

2. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I know you just secretly sang that to yourself.

Maybe you are going through a breakup, mourning a death of a loved one or just flat out having a bad day. The pain you feel might feel like someone is just ripping you apart, but there is always something that comes out of experiences, sometimes it can be lesson or just what to expect. Next time you'll be ready, more prepared at what life swings your way and maybe it just won't hurt as much.

3. It is OK to cry.

Life is hard, I won't argue with that. Sometimes a good cry or even letting yourself feel the way you're feeling strangely makes you feel better, so go on and let it out.

4. Have a dance party.

Sometimes being alone is what you might need—a little free time for yourself, without having to feel like anyone is watching or breathing down your neck for once. Crank up some music and have a dance party. Dance all the bad away, it sure helps when I feel like I am on the edge.

5. You are a badass


That's right, you are a badass and don't let anyone tell you anything otherwise.The feeling will pass so keep going. Life goes on and there are many different things to experience, so don’t let anything slow you down.


You might be having a bad day or a bad week or even a bad month, but in time things will get better, I promise. Just remember you are a survivor. If life wants to swing anything your way, just remember you will get through it.

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.
