Be The Bigger Person

Shake it off like an etch a sketch.

Everyone makes mistakes. Big and small. What matters is how you handle them and take the fact that you did the wrong thing. Or on the other side of the rope did the wrong thing, be the more mature one to put them in shock and show them that they should not mess with you. Owning up to your mistakes is so important. Instead of trying to hide the obvious. Maybe people that you thought you'd have for the rest of your life left. Remember that for everyone lost, you will gain someone else even better than what you had.

People leave and things change but you need to be the bigger person and handle things the right and mature way. If you for some reason reach out to someone who has hurt you and lost you, you think they screen shot the text and send it to others talking bad about you, let them because you're being the bigger person and just by doing that, they're small. Whatever you do, do not let people have the power to make you feel small. If you do, they win. That's what they want, don't give it to them.

Notice how I said "lost you" a few sentences ago.Anyone you think you lost actually lost you. You're such a spectacular person who has so much to offer a friend, significant other and the world. You're going to make someone great of yourself I guarantee it. If you ever think that no one believes in you just think of me, Rosina Facciponte. I'm on your side. I may not know your exact scenario of why this catches your attention so much now but I can guarantee you that I understand. When you think no one could possibly be on your side, I bet some can and will understand where you're coming from. You just have to surround yourself with the right people.

Life is full of mistakes and lessons learned. Don't let them break you down because that is just what they want. Shake it off like an etch a sketch and create more beautiful than ever image of yourself and show it off, flaunt it because you deserve to be confident and happy.

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.
