Yes, Being A Sensitive Person Is Totally Okay
lifehack

Sometimes your friends might call you out for being too "sensitive" within a situation but that's totally okay. Your compassion and care for people is truly amazing in the way that you always want to make others happy. When putting so much energy into other people, it makes it difficult at times to handle disappointment with those you care about the most. But those hard times make it easier to to see the better times in the future. The strength that you hold throughout those times makes you grow as a person and evolve into who you are today, as well as who you will become. You seek the best in people and when their best isn't enough it destroys you because it's really hard to let go. The high expectations you set previously begin to become lower in the way that people disrespect and take advantage of your kindness.

Even if someone says horrible words to you and makes you feel worthless, you still attempt to find something to hold on to. Statements can become phrases that are permanently locked into your memory and make you feel even lower as a person and a friend. It's important that we make these statements positive as they leave imprints in our minds for years to come. If we positively impact the way that we think as well as how others perceive us, we would be so much happier. When you're at a low point and all you can do is try to hold on to something, you become emotionally invested in anything that comes your way. These situations bring out the sensitive sides of you which make you care a little bit more than you should.

But, that's what makes you who you are and that shouldn't change due to the opinions of others. Overall, it's definitely good to have a little spark of sensitivity in your life to care a little bit more about those around you. But, don't let others take advantage of the kindness that you reflect on the outside because that's what makes you who are. That can result in a future of doubt and a lack of self respect of who you are. You deserve to be the best version of yourself and to surround yourself with people who bring out the best sides of you daily. The people who don't seem to do that for you, aren't the one's who are worth it in the end.

Don't ever feel the need to associate this characteristic as negative because this is what makes you who you are, and it's something that will always be in your life. So no matter where life takes you always remember that being this way is 100% okay, and there's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

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.
