Stop what you're doing and take a deep breath.

Something went wrong in your life. You did badly on a test, your boyfriend or girlfriend broke up with you, you lost your job, etc. Whatever the case may be, it is going to be okay. I know it seems like it's not right now but it will be. You have survived so much in your life already. You can get through this too. I know you can. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel and a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. When you feel like all you can do is give up, don't. Never stop believing in yourself and never stop trying to reach your dreams.

Life isn't always going to be easy and when it's not, it's okay not to be okay. It's okay to be sad, upset or angry. It's okay to cry. It's okay to let it all out if you need to. It's okay if you're tired but don't give up. Sometimes, you have to jump hurdles to finish the race but you started the race, so why not finish it? You came all this way and accomplished too much to stop now. Keep going!

Even though it seems really bad now, you'll look at it later and realize it wasn't as bad as you thought. It'll just be another thing that you survived. You have to take it one day at a time. It'll get easier with time. I know you want it to be better now but time heals all wounds. Stop trying to rush the healing process because you won't recover fully if you don't give it enough time. It will get better. Even if it takes a while, I promise it will.

Don't let your situation define who you are. Just because you're going through a rough patch does not mean that there is something wrong with you. A lot of the time we like to be hard on ourselves when something goes wrong. If our boyfriend or girlfriend breaks up with us, we like to think that it's because we aren't good enough. If we don't do well on a test, we like to think that it's because we're not smart enough. Sometimes, none of it is your fault and sometimes, none of it is under your control. This doesn't mean that you're not good enough or smart enough because you are more than enough. This is just going to make you a stronger person in the end. Every hurdle makes you a stronger. You might feel weak now but you'll be stronger and better later.

It's going to be okay.

"When I look back on my life, I see pain, mistakes, and heartache. When I look in the mirror, I see strength, learned lessons, and pride in myself." -Unknown

"Life isn't meant to be easy, it's meant to be lived. Sometimes good other times rough. But with every up and down, you learn lessons that make you strong." -Unknown

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.
