In Case No One Told You Today...
From The Grapevine

In case no one told you today, life can be really hard.

So in case no one told you today, it’s OK to take some time to be sad or mad, or something in between.

In case no one told you today, something bad might happen to you.

So in case no one told you today, be safe, be smart and always be prepared.

In case no one told you today, you are flawed and imperfect, just like everyone else.

So in case no one told you today, take some time to work on yourself, because we can always do better.

In case no one told you today, you might run into mean, selfish, cruel people.

So in case no one told you today, use your judgement and steer clear from assholes.

In case no one told you today, your physical health is important.

So in case no one told you today, drink a lot of water and eat a healthy meal.

But in case no one told you today, your mental health is important.

So in case no one told you today, eat the piece of pizza, have a drink out with your friends.

In case no one told you today, you might meet some incredible, selfless, caring people.

So in case no one told you today, smile at everyone who comes your way.

In case no one told you today, you are beautiful and capable and unique in every way possible.

So in case no one told you today, don’t waste a second of time trying to be something other than yourself.

In case no one told you today, something awesome might happen to you.

So in case no one told you today, take chances, be optimistic, and always be ready for a good time.

And in case no one told you today, life can be really amazing.

So in case no one told you today, it’s OK to take some time to celebrate and be happy, or something in between.

In case no one told you today, perspective is everything. The way you choose to view the world will dictate the way you live your life. In case no one told you today, the glass will sometimes be half empty. The glass will sometimes be bone dry. But, in case no one told you today, you have the choice to see it as half full. You have the choice to see emptiness as opportunity. In case no one told you today, you can bring positivity to yourself and to others, just as easily as others can bring negativity to you, if you let them. You have the ability to find the balance, to take the good with the bad, to dictate the quality of your own life.

In case no one told you today, you are amazing. But it is your choice to believe and embrace it. So in case no one told you today, believe it. Embrace it.

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.
