To The One Crying At 2 A.M.

It's okay to cry.

I feel you. I feel your pain, your heartbreak, your sadness.

I feel your helplessness and your wondering on whether or not it's worth it to go on.

Let me first tell you that you do not deserve whatever is making you cry.

Whomever, or whatever hurt you is not because of you and you do not deserve it.

There is nothing you did that could justify whatever is bringing you so much pain.

It is not your fault. You do not deserve it.

I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but things will be okay.

I have to be honest and tell you that I don't know when things will get better — if things will get better.

But, I do know that they will be okay.

I'm still trying to determine whether or not things get better for myself so I will not feed you the line that everyone else does. I know you're tired of hearing it.

But I will tell you that you have gotten through 100% of your bad days until now and I'll tell you that you don't want to ruin that streak.

Everything may seem like it's crashing down right now, and it may seem hard and damn near impossible to continue on with this hurt or this heartache but you can and you will.

You will wake up tomorrow and things may still hurt, things may still be bad, but you are alive and that is amazing.

You should be proud of yourself right this very second for getting through all you've gotten through and you should know that even though things look rocky and foggy for the future, you will get through this too.

You will wake up tomorrow after a night you didn't think you would get through and you should be proud of that.

You should know that you're not alone in this, there are many people awake at the same time questioning the same things that you are and if it makes you feel any better, know that we are all going to get through our own troubles - together.

Whatever is making you cry right now, will be so little in comparison to the big picture of your life and all the good that will come of it.

I know you are hurting, and that is okay but you have to know that things will eventually be okay.

You will eventually be okay.

You are strong.

You are worth this life, and of love.

You did not do anything wrong nor do you deserve whatever is troubling you right now.

Things will be okay.

For all you know tomorrow could be the best day of your life, so cry it out now because eventually, you will be smiling again, even if it seems impossible right now.

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.
