Dear Depression

I can't let you take over forever

Dear Depression

Every second of everyday you sit and linger in the back of my mind. Some days are better than others. Some days I can ignore you and laugh for real. Some days the desire to lay in bed all day doesn't consume me. But on the days that it does I almost love you. When I allow myself to give into you and I spend all day in bed it's a sigh of relief. You take me away from everything. No work, no people, no fake smiles. Just me and my bed. Sometimes I love it. Sometimes it makes me sick just to think about how low I let you take me. Sometimes I want to scream at you. WHY ME? You make me feel alone. And like its better that way. No one could possibly understand and maybe they aren’t suppose to. But people do understand. I’m not alone! Sometimes I want to tell you, I’m not alone. I refuse to feel alone. I’m loved and not even you can take that from me. So thank you for the easy days, but even more thank you for the hard days. Thank you for the days where I have to really convince myself that everyday is worth living and I will make my life into everything I want and more.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
