Dear You,

I know exactly how you feel. You see a handsome man looking at you and then all of a sudden he wants to take you out. He doesn't want anything right now but would really like to get to know you better. Before you know it, you're hanging out all the time. Your mind is telling you that he must like you with all this time he wants to spend with you. The more time you seem to spend with him, the more attached you get. It is not your fault that you feel the way you do. God made you this way, and you're are perfect. I know guy won't understand and you will feel "unlikable," but you just haven't found the right guy to love you for who you are.

If this has happened to you multiple times and you can't seem to run away from it, don't. You're going to be okay. It is going to be okay. Try not to throw your heart out there so quickly. I know that is hard, but that's really all I can say. Don't be ashamed of who you are. You might get hurt a little more than other girls, but, it is going to be okay.

He is coming, I promise. It might not be right now. It might not be in your near future, but he is out there. He will find you and you will find him. One day you will look into somebody's eyes and tell just by the way that they look at you that you're all he has ever wanted. Someday just waking up to the love your life will be worth it. They say that the best things in life are worth waiting for. Maybe waiting for "him" is really all you can do. Some guy is going to come into your life and changing it forever. Maybe it will be love at first sight. Maybe it will be someone you will least expect. Maybe it will be the weird kid sitting next to you in one of your classes. You will no longer feel all alone and hate yourself for jumping too quickly. He may come in the least way expected in a totally perfect way. He will understand and love you even more for who are, with the flaws included. Your flaws may someday make him love you even more.

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Totally Understands.

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.
