Fall In Love

We get one period of time in which we can be vulnerable and young, make it count.

Fall In Love
Emily Alspaugh

Fall in love young and don't hold back. I'm not saying to fall in love like you probably think I mean. I'm not saying go out and find another person and fall in love, fall in love with everything around you. Fall in love with the way the sun warms your skin, fall in love with the fresh smell of coffee or cut grass. Fall madly, deeply in love while you're young. Fall in love with places and movies and music. Don't hold yourself back, being young is a time where we have the most freedom to go out and explore and do things. Fall in love with yourself, your body, your life.

Fall in love young and don't let someone tell you not to do something or discourage you. We get one shot at this life and what's the point of sitting back and waiting for things to happen. Go out of your comfort zone, try new things, live this life to the fullest it can be. Find something you're passionate about and fall in love, fall in love hard and don't hold back.

Being the age that we are, getting ready to leave our teenage years behind and entering our early twenties, becoming young adults, there's a lot of pressure to be in a relationship or to find love. I'm not trying to say that being in a relationship is bad or that people should just stop trying to find someone to spend their time with, but don't let it hold you back from everything else.

Fall in love with yourself, your life, things you're passionate about, things you enjoy, and it'll make everything a lot easier.

10 things I fell in love with:

1. Learning.

2. Traveling and exploring new places.

3. The feeling you get when you play a sport you love.

4. Hearing favorite songs that send chills down your body.

5. Spending time with good friends.

6. Warm rays of sunshine on your skin.

7. Dancing.

8. Spending time on the beach.

9. Helping people, learning about their life stories.

10. The feeling of love.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
