1. "I don't need anybody to hold my hand."

Olivia Benson is exactly who we all wish to be with this quote. We don't need anybody! We are completely independent-- but remember, it's okay to ask for help.

2. "You have the right to keep your mouth shut."

You could think of someone else like this, but YOU have the right to keep your mouth shut. How often do you say something and regret it? Too often, I thought so. You have the right to remain silent when you have nothing good to say.

3. "You're a fighter. Look at everything you've overcome. Don't give up now."

Remind yourself of all the hard times you've had. You made it through, and it sure isn't time to quit. We're all rooting for you, even Olivia Benson.

4. "Having a little balance is not so bad."

Sometimes we overwhelm ourselves, so when we take a step back and balance our lives, that's good. We don't need to be everything to everyone, we need to be balanced for ourselves.

5. "We blame all kinds of people for creating monsters. Why not ourselves?"

So many times we blame others for bad things happening, but maybe it's us. Maybe we don't always own up to our mistakes. We make choices that hurt ourselves and others. Monsters known as bad situations are often what we put ourselves into, not what others put us into.

6. "I trust my instincts. If I don't have that, I shouldn't be here."

Everyone remember that you have instincts for a reason. If you didn't have them, the chance of you being here is slim to none. Instincts are meaningful. When you don't feel right about that guy, trust your instincts.

7. "Go home. Talk to somebody you love. And don't make this job your whole life."

Remember, whatever you are going through does not have to be your whole life. You can take a step back and relax. You can just watch Netflix or curl up and nap sometimes. Just relax.

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.
