An Open Letter To My Heart

Hey there,

I know you're hurting and you're broken, but guess what? You're going to heal and become stronger and feel better than you ever have before. It's OK to feel pain and sadness; that just means you're alive. Don't for a second think that you're not worth the world. Because you are. You loved someone who couldn't love you back and that's fine. You'll be fine. Being able to love someone like that is such a beautiful thing and you shouldn't ever regret it. Love is sacred and special and something that you shouldn't just give to anyone. They have to earn it and prove to you that they are deserving of your love. Those lucky enough to get it, no matter what the time frame, should feel special and know that the love that you have shared with them is extraordinary and incredible. Be proud of the love you give and know your worth.

I know that times get tough, but do you really believe God would put you in a position you couldn't handle? He would never do that to you, and don't think for a second you can't get through this. You can. You are strong and powerful and can do anything. You think it's easier to be sad and cry? It's not. You're not helping yourself any. Yes you can cry, but cry only to let the negative out. Breathe in the positive and let light shine through you. Embrace your emotions and be proud of them. Don't let the negative cover your beauty.

Heart, listen up. Stop. Just stop it. Don't give in, don't shut off, and don't crumble. No you won't get over this in a day and not even a week but oh well. You take that and become the person you need to be. For yourself. You forgot the love that you have for yourself but it's not gone. It's still there, you may have to dig for it but when you find it, it will be even better than before. A new love that you have for yourself that you didn't know you could feel. You are perfect the way you are.

I know, heart, that it's easier to be angry, frustrated, and annoyed but it's not. You're not supposed to fill yourself up with all of that. Fill it up with love and devotion. Pray for those who need it and keep doing it until you feel like they don't anymore. That's what you can do so don't stay angry or frustrated, pray it out. Look at all you have overcome and accomplished. Why did you ever think you couldn't get through this? You're doing it now, you're living and breathing. Trust the process.

God says," The reason some people have turned against you and walked away from you without reason, has nothing to do with you. It is because I have removed them from your life because they cannot go where I am taking you next. They will only hinder you in your next level because they have already served their purpose in your life. Let them go and keep moving. Greater is coming." Says the Lord.

Greater indeed is coming.

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.

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.
