We are so focussed on what is going around us negatively that we forget that there still are positives around us. You should always be able to find the positive in any situation or thing. Here are some tips on how to find them.

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.
