No Matter Who You Are, Everyone Needs A Good Friend Group

Family is born into your life while friends are people who choose to be in your life. A good friend group is something that everyone needs, whether it is only two others or ten.Friends are always there to pick you up when you need them. Friends are the most important people that you can choose to surround yourself with. They help to make up who you are.

A good friend is the kind of person that you know will not only be there when you are having the best day of your life but also the worse day imaginable. Everyone deserves that type of friend. A solid friendship is one that will grow old with you, one that does not stop because of distance or minor disagreements.

Friendships that you hope your kids find as they grow older.As you move on in your life you will meet every kind of person there is. Tall, short, white, black, maybe even purple. People that you would never expect to meet or even find yourself communicating with.

These are the best people.

People from different backgrounds and nationalities that you can put all of your differences aside and find what things you do have in common. Do not get me wrong, it's amazing to have friends just like you. It is great to find people close that are just like you, that you can bond with but get out of your comfort zone.

Find someone that you wouldn't normally talk to, form a friendship and see what you learn. You do not have to have a "clique" or a "squad". Those people normally are not the greatest group of friends anyone.

Two solid, never back down individuals that you know will always have your back through every adventure or detour is the best thing that you could have. Find those people, enjoy your life with them and never let them go. Your life will suddenly become so much brighter.

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.
