Family Is The Best Support System A Girl Could Ask For.

Family keeps you grounded. Whenever I am feeling lost, upset, lonely, broken, or so many other emotions, they are here to ground me and fill me with love

Too many times I get caught up in my busy life and forget what truly matters. It takes one visit home or one phone call to my sister to remind me what it is I am working towards.

Sometimes I forget why I work full work weeks and go to school full time. Sometimes I start to wonder why I work multiple internships. Life can get difficult whenever you have a full schedule and feel like half of it has nothing to show. But my family is always there to remind me what I’m working towards.

They are the ones who keep me grounded and keep me pushing towards my goals. Everyone needs that person who tells them “you can do this” or “this is why you ARE doing this”.

Because let’s be honest, life is tough. Life knows how to break you and then shake you once you’re already down. There is no denying that without a strong support system, of some sort, in some way, we would not survive.

A simple drive back to my hometown and pulling through my driveway brings me so much relief. Knowing my family awaits me inside those small town lines gives me hope. Knowing they are there to support me, ask about my endeavors, and guide me through this crazy thing called life is what keeps me sane.

Without my family, I would be completely and utterly lost. They know me better than anyone else in this world. Sometimes I feel like they know me, better than I know me. They help me sort out my emotions and deal with them properly.

Without my support system, without my Family, I would not survive this world. I would not survive my world. I am forever loving and forever grateful for their constant love and support to get me through this life.

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.
