Don't Take Second Chances For Granted

Because at the end of the day, what do you have to lose?

Second chances.

Sometimes they are worth it and other times you find yourself second guessing ever giving someone a second chance. But some second chances are risks you have to take. Especially when it comes to loving someone and having patience with not only them but yourself.

Sometimes the right person will come along but it won't be the right timing. I'm a very strong believer in "right person, wrong timing". Sometimes people have to grow apart and truly find themselves and what they want in order to be the best version of themselves.

Nothing is going to be easy when you reconnect with someone after so much time has passed. But what I have learned is that if two people love each other and want it to work, they will always find a way. The challenge will be worth the reward if you have faith and trust in each other. It's about taking chances and not being afraid to say, "this is what I want" and "this is how I feel". Because at the end of the day, what do you have to lose?

I never would've imagined my life how it is today compared to how it was a year ago, but I mean this in the best way possible. I'm so thankful for the person that I have grown up to be, and for my boyfriend who is patient with me beyond belief. Second chances mean everything when the person is everything to you. I will not take any of these moments for granted.

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.
