I changed my phone number and it is honestly the best thing I could have done for myself.

Now, you may be sitting there thinking, "How could that be so great?" Well, the answer would be, because it is the fresh start I so badly needed. I knew I was due to update my phone and I got thinking, "What if I did more than JUST update my phone? What if I changed my number too?"

I was back and forth on it for a few weeks leading up to getting my phone. I have so many contacts from a bunch of different stages of life. On top of that, I have bills and accounts set up to my phone number... How would I be able to tell everyone and notify them all that I was changing my number?

The answer was simple. A clean slate, only keep the people you ABSOLUTELY NEED. A fresh start… Of course, my families numbers were kept, along with a few close friends, my work numbers, and the numbers of the businesses and bills I had set up to my phone number. Since doing this, I, along with the ones I love, have noticed a difference in me. I am not stressed. I am not bothered or upset by the texts I get from people.

The best part of this is that I have finally rid myself of so many different toxic people. I no longer have their negative energy anywhere near me and if feels GREAT! What I have learned through this experience is that sometimes you just need a fresh start and that's okay. There is nothing wrong with cutting toxic people out of your life in efforts to improve your happiness. Don't be afraid of change.

This as been such a great experience for me, all i can say is give it shot and notice the difference it can make.

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.
