Without actually saying "I love you."

Recently, I had the courage to ask my grandfather why he doesn't really tell anyone that he loves them. He told me, "I'd rather show people I love them because those words get tossed around like it's nothing."

I couldn't agree more honestly. I feel like we tell people that we love them every day with no real meaning behind. So why waste our time saying we love each other when we really don't show it?

1. "Did you get home safe?" Or making sure someone gets in the house BEFORE you drive away.

These simple things show how much you care, a ton! Making it a priority to check if someone is okay is definitely showing that you love them. If I go on a date and the person I'm with drives off before I get in the house, I immediately know to never speak to them in that way again.

2. "Are you okay? How are you doing?"

Making sure someone is okay and/or checking up on them after they have a bad experience are easy ways to show how worried you are and how much you appreciate them. You would never want someone that you love to go through hardship alone, right?

3. Giving someone a blanket while they're asleep.

This is something really easy to do to show someone that you care about them. Whether it's a family member, friend, or spouse, you can simply give them a blanket to show how much they matter to you.

4. "Can I see you soon?"

This shows that you miss someone and want to spend time with them. Sometimes it's best to aside your pride and ask if you can see them first. This shows that you truly care and want to genuinely spend time together.

5. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Offering your help means that you'll interrupt your own day to help someone else. This is a good way to show that you'll be there for someone, no matter what. Usually, people won't even take you up on this offer. It's just the fact that you offered that helps them the most.

6. "Do you need me to help you carry that?"

Nothing is more annoying than struggling to hold up 10 items in your arms while someone else has nothing. Offering to help truly shows that you're trying to help and you care enough to even ask in the first place.

7. "I appreciate your company."

Saying this to me will truly melt my heart. It's an easy way to make someone feel warm and loved and like they're worth something in your life.

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.
