My Wish To You

Your smile brightens the room. Please don't hide it. Your laugh shakes the earth and sends waves across the Atlantic. Please don't hide it.

My Wish To You
Devin Tubbs

My wish is that you never let society break your will. For you are so strong and powerful that it would have to be heavy burdens to bare. The world is not perfect. No person is perfect, not even yourself.

Some people will dislike you for no reason at all, some will dislike you because you won't conform to their idea of how you should act. That's okay.

Some people may be beautiful on the outside. They draw you in with perfected verses on what's right and wrong only to show true selves and when the bully and nasty come out, they won't be so beautiful anymore. Don't fall victim to their unmerciful ways.

He or she will tell you they love you, they may or may not mean it. It could be years, months, weeks, or days but absolutely do not repeat it unless you mean it. If you do, love with every fiber of your heart. It's only natural to have a heartbreak but it is unnatural to lie. Even if it's just to yourself.

Be cautious of your crowd because you are who you keep company.

Stay humble in knowing we were made equally. Not one person is made with out blood and bones. We all bleed the same. Do not think you're ever too good to be someone's friend, or not good enough for that matter.

We all fight our own demons and once you break a porcelain doll, the cracks won't ever go away no matter how strong the glue is. Keep that in mind when venom tries to latch on to the tip of your tongue.

Do not let others define your idea of beauty.

Your smile brightens the room. Please don't hide it. Your laugh shakes the earth and sends waves across the Atlantic. Please don't hide it.

Your value is priceless so do not sell yourself short. Keep your morals and standards close to your heart and keep steadfast on your path of your own righteousness.

My wish is that you never let society break you. You're smart, you're courageous, and you belong

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.
