You Deserve More Than What You've Been Given

You deserve more than the moon, darling, you deserve every constellation this sky can hold

You Deserve More Than What You've Been Given

You deserve more than the moon, darling, you deserve every constellation this sky can hold. Never settle for less than perfect.

I know at times life can feel like it's taking advantage of you and you may even buy into the lies of the world that you brought this upon yourself, but don't listen to that for even a second. You are so wonderful inside and out, and you can never fall too far from love and hope.

I know these are tired clichés and you've heard them 100 times, but take it from me, the girl who has dealt with all the emotions and rollercoasters under the umbrella, that you are worth so much more than what little you have from others.

They say, "Don't cross oceans for people who wouldn't cross puddles for you" and others say, "No, do it." I chose: Do what will make you happiest. You need to be selfish and put what you want and need first, and if that means not crossing a puddle for someone because that could cause harm to you and how you feel, don't do it!

This goes with friends, boys, girls, love, relationships, lust, hate and everything in between.

You. Come. First.

Your health and how your heart feels should be your top priority right now, so decide, are you getting what you deserve? And if that question makes you unhappy, odds are that you aren't.

I want you to be happy because you deserve nothing less.

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.
