Cosmopolitans may be important, but they aren't everything.

1. On being imperfect.

"I will never be the woman with the perfect hair, who can wear white and not spill on it."


2. On making mistakes.

“Life gives you lots of chances to screw up which means you have just as many chances to get it right.”


3. On love.

"I’m looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other love."


4. On letting go of the past.

"Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be."


5. On romance.

"When men attempt bold gestures, generally it’s considered romantic. When women do it, it’s often considered desperate or psycho."


6. On being untamed.

"Maybe some women aren’t meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with.”


7. On single life.

“Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you’re pretty sexy and you’re taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with.”


8. On letting go.

“Eventually all the pieces fall into place….until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moment, and know that everything happens for a reason."


9. On loving yourself.

"The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you-you love, well, that’s just fabulous."


10. On Friendship.

"They say nothing lasts forever; dreams change, trends come and go, but friendships never go out of style."

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.
