Dear Everyone,

Sometimes we all need to take a step back and really think about what has been happening in our lives recently. We live in a world where we are so busy we forget to take the time we need for ourselves. It’s never an easy task because there are definitely things that we don’t want to face. However, at the end of the day, we often forget that the most important thing we can do for ourselves is take a moment to breathe.

Today I want to talk the people who have been having a particularly hard time lately. I know that things must not be easy for you right now, but I want you to truly know that you are not alone. We all have demons we are constantly facing. Sometimes these demons can consume your mind and your time. I think that the important part about facing these demons is how you do it. You can approach them in a positive or negative manner, and this will completely control the outcome. Sometimes, when addressing these problems, it becomes very easy to want to ignore them for a while or simply give up. This may only make matters worse, and it is important to learn how to grow from the situation at hand. It will only make you stronger in the long run.

Some of our biggest struggles are our relationships with others. We constantly have people coming in and out of our lives. Sometimes changing our lives for the better and sometimes changing them for the worse. However, I hope that these people have been able to teach you valuable lifelong lessons and you are thankful for them. I hope that you can put aside the bad times and remember the good because you deserve nothing but happiness in your life. You deserve to be treated fairly and with nothing but respect. I hope that you can be assertive when you need to in order to express your feelings because your feelings matter just as much as everyone else’s do. I hope that you never let anyone take you for granted and you are able to put them in their place if and when they do. More importantly, I hope that you are able to walk away from any relationship that is toxic, no matter how hard it may be.

You deserve nothing but respect because you have infinite human value. Don’t ever let anyone tell you your worth or get in the way of your aspirations. Strive to be the best you can be for no one other than yourself. Be successful, take risks, but don’t forget to take a moment to enjoy yourself. It can be so easy to get lost in the craziness of life, but you deserve this time to yourself. I hope that you realize that you are capable of doing absolutely anything you set your mind to. Good things never come easy, so don’t give up when times get hard. Believe in yourself, stay strong and think positively. Don't forget that you are never alone. Please do not think that asking for help is a sign of weakness. Keep your head up; this too shall pass.

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.
