It feels like the world is caving in around you, like everything is crashing down and you're suddenly finding yourself in a pit. Darkness surrounds you. Tears are on your face. This is it. You feel yourself falling apart and there's nothing you can do. You try to fight it but the negative feelings in your chest are too heavy. The emotions claw and grab at your shoulders in an attempt to drag you even further down. Everyone tries to fight against this feeling, this sensation of falling apart. But what if you didn't? What if you allowed yourself to fall, even just a little bit? Before you think negatively, think of the possibilities.

Now, I'm not saying to let yourself complete let go and just lose all will, that's not it. But letting yourself fall apart over one thing or for an hour can actually be good for you. Many people who are on the brink of falling apart are people who have been holding in so much that they feel they might explode. They are the soldiers and warriors and fighters who have been dealt some of life's most harsh blows. And they fear that falling apart will make them look weak, will make people look down upon them. They fear falling apart and never getting back up. Falling apart is not the end, but the beginning.

When we fall apart we cry, scream, sleep, don't eat, so much. Many see this experience as detrimental to us as a person, that ti will forever put us inside of a black hole of this endless routine. But what many do not know is that crying and letting all of those emotions out is actually a very healthy thing. It is healthy to cry and let out emotions, it is healthy to not bottle everything up inside. And falling apart is just a combination of these healthy things.

It's hard, yes, and it hurts but remember that it is a new beginning. Remember it is something that will strengthen you even more on your journey through life. Remember that it is just a immense expulsion of all the negativity you have been holding onto. Of all the sad memories and the tears. The screams that you have so desperately wanted to let out. Falling apart doesn't mean you are gone forever or fail as a person. It means that you were strong enough to make yourself as vulnerable as you could possibly be. It means that you know all of that negativity you were holding in your chest needs to get the hell out before it eats you alive.

You are not a goner. You are strong, wise, and you are going to get through this. Just remember, an even stronger version of you is on the other side.

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.
