1. REMEMBER

to love always.

Your feelings, questions, ideas and thoughts are valued and valid.

You do not need another person to validate them for you.

They are real the moment you feel them.

2. THINK

Think about what kind of person you want to be.

What kind of person do you want to show the world?

What kind of person do you want to keep to yourself?

Become the type of person you'd like to confide in .

3. KNOW

that seeing some one and interacting with someone everyday doesn't effect the importance of the relationship.

They will stay if they wish to.

4. GO

Literally just go.

Do it.

See you when you get back, you will be okay.

5. FAMILY

Whoever they may be (blood related or not), if they're important enough for you to call them family and mean it, they will take care of you, always. Don't doubt them.

6. ABSORB

You choose what you let in.

Absorb the things in this world that you want in your mind, body and soul.

Unwanted emotions and thoughts will try to make their way in.

Try your best to push them away.

7. FEAR

You'll always have it, because you're human.

Find strength to keep moving through fear and making it work to your advantage.

Conquer it.

These are just a few things I have found that help me keep the peace inside my head.

Sometimes we get so wound up as humans, we tend to forget the basics.

We can love so hard sometimes and not receive love back in the same way.

Often times that can be misread for something negative, but in reality, we need to just stop and breathe and think about our situation.

One day life is serious, the next day it is lax.

It's hard to keep up.

I see these things in the list above as life basics.

Although some are just common sense, I feel like in a busy life, we forget the little things.

I hope you feel loved today, friends.

You deserve 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.
