Appreciating Life's Struggle
Quotes Gram

Appreciate every annoying tear of that child,
many carried for 9 months with no positive result.

Appreciate your mother's effort,
She doesn't deserve to suffer for you again after that painful day she visited heaven to bring you to this world.

Appreciate those who used and prosecuted you,
Spending your time to please them taught you to be smart and time wise.

Appreciate those who condemned, Rejected, and discriminated you,
Although, they tore you apart from within, they also taught you to heal.

Appreciate those who mocked you for your being, talents and efforts,
They taught you sense of humor.

Appreciate that person that broke your heart,
They made you cry, made you strong and helped you to understand everything is a risk.

Appreciate those who abused you, and robbed you of your pride,
As a result, you now know anger, law, forgiveness, justice and revenge.

Appreciate that person who listens to you, defends, shows you love and stands by you.
They've been hurt too, probably worse than you have, but they offer their shoulder still.

Appreciate those childhood memories,
Many spent theirs struggling for themselves, hiding and escaping from assaults and never knew what it felt like to be a child.

Appreciate that partner who swears to love you alone daytime and loves 10 others at night,
Now you know when it comes to matters of the heart, words are not as powerful as actions.

Appreciate that dad who yells and teaches you responsibility everyday,
Some dads don't even want to be a part of their child's life.

Appreciate your siblings,
They are like your eyes, if you believe you are better-of without them, you might as well just pluck your eyes out.

Appreciate "the wolves in sheep clothing"
They asking for your all and giving you nothing in return taught you not all, can be trusted.

Appreciate those who appear to be who they really are,
They showed you friendship and trust.

Appreciate your past,
it thought you regrets, mistakes, pain, joy, sorrow...it made you...who you are.

But most importantly...

Appreciate your life now,

Believe it or not,
it makes up who you will be,
it determines your Tomorrow.

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.
