An Open Letter To The Girl Who Has Not Found Her Way
http://m.favim.com/image/528965/

To the girl who hasn't found her way,

You know who you are. You're the girl who is behind on everything.

You don't know who you are or where you are going. You have plans, but you have not had the chance to see them through. You have dreams of places you want to see, things you want to try, people you want to meet, but you haven't found your way yet.

You're the girl who hasn't had the perfect life. You are full of insecurities, doubts, fears, but at the end of the day you are still confident, smart, and strong. You get down sometimes, but there is always something that will be there to pick you up.

You are the girl who hasn't had the perfect relationships. Maybe you haven't had any yet. The relationships are far from flawless. They may be nothing like you imagined, but you still see the good anyway.

You went to school for a specific thing, but you've already changed your mind. It doesn't mean that life is over, it just means you're changing your mind to get things right.

You've made mistakes. You have said things that you are not proud of. You have had your feelings hurt on multiple occasions. You have lost people that you want back in your life. You have wasted time on people. You have taken for granted what you had before it was gone.

All those things may seem terrible. It may seem as though everything was wrong.

Look over here. It's the bright side

Love yourself so that you can love others better. Live so others can live through you. Laugh a lot, cry very little. Smile even when it seems like the world doesn't want you to. Be kind to others because you never know what battle they are facing.

Make mistakes so you can learn from them.

You are you. As cliche as it sounds, no one can do it better. You're going to find your way even when it seems like you will not. Believe in yourself even when no one else will. Find your way no matter how long it takes.

You can do it. You just have to keep telling yourself.

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.
