1. It's impossible to make all the right decisions all the time.

No one's always right and no one's always wrong and that's something we just need to accept.

2. Sometimes it's not always clear to see which decision is "right" and which is "wrong".

Sometimes the only way to figure out if something is right or wrong is just to try it and see what happens. You can always change your mind and pick something else if it ends up being wrong.

3. Right and wrong are subjective.

We subconsciously let others choose what's right and wrong for us sometimes, but what's right for someone else might be wrong for you.

4. Sometimes a decision can be the right one in one instance, but then the wrong one in another.

Something might feel right in the moment, but then when you look back on it, you might realize that it wasn't actually the right decision. We can't beat ourselves up for these moments, because we didn't know how we would view this decision in another moment.

5. Occasionally you need to choose the wrong thing for it to teach you something.

This is one that can be seen in countless movies and TV shows, where someone does something wrong, but because of that they ended up better off. Sometimes choosing the wrong thing can teach us a lesson.

6. You're only human.

As Hannah Montana says in her hit song "Nobody's Perfect," "Everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days." We're only human and most humans, whether or not we like to admit it, are pretty problematic. Being problematic sometimes is okay though, especially when we're young because we're still learning the ropes on this thing called "life."

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.
