If You're Having A Bad Day, Read Me

If You're Having A Bad Day, Read Me
Magic 4 Walls

It seems like this time of the year bad days happen more often than they should. I am guilty of letting little things bother me. The little things build up and instantly ruin my day. But there's a lot of good things you may not realize when you are down in the dumps. There are so many more beautiful things in your life that you are ignoring because of the bad things that are going on in your life. Here are a few examples:

1. You are loved.

By your friends and family, they love you unconditionally. Maybe they caused your bad day, just remember at the end of the day they love you unconditionally just as you love them back.

2. You are important.

I am guilty of feeling like I don't matter to anyone. This is wrong. You are important. Your message, your life, and what you do with it matter. It may be hard to believe because you may not get recognition for things you deserve, but everything you do is important and means something.

3. You are strong.

On your worst the only thing you can do is move forward and learn from situation. It's okay to be sad, but what you learn from each situation makes you who you are and stronger everyday.

4. You are beautiful.

Inside and out, you are beautiful. Remember the good you do and the smiles you bring to people. That's what beauty is. Being able to touch people's lives and make their days by the simplest actions.

5. You are making a difference.

Success doesn't happen over night. It may seem like you are making as much progress as you want, but just remember good things take time. You may fail, but you what learn from that moment will define you as a person.

6. You deserve to be happy.

Let the bad things go and focus on the things that make you smile and who you are. Life is too short to let the negative aspects of your life control how you feel and live your life.

7. The sun will rise.

It may seem like your world is collapsing in front of your eyes, but it's not. Just a bump in the road. Don't lose sight of your goals or who you are.

Smile, everything is going to be okay <3

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
