To The Family Members Who Inpsire Me To Be Great, Thank You

People come and go as you go on through life, but the ones who stay by your side every step of the way are the ones who are most important. Personally, I have quite a few people who inspire me and who have stuck by my side no matter what road in life I am on.

My grandfather. Personally, I like to think I'm his favorite, but all jokes aside, he's truly there for me. He isn't one to talk much or get emotional or talk about his feelings, but he's always there. He listens. He doesn't hover, and though he isn't one to do the talking, he says the right things when you need them. He's been my right-hand man since the day I was born, and he'll always be my go-to guy.

My grandmother. She is my strength. She gives me the strength I need even when she's at her lowest and weakest points. She is currently battling breast cancer, and even on her most painful and tired days, she puts in the effort to make sure I'm okay. She fights like hell and there's not one person I know that is stronger than her.

My mom. She gives me clarity. She keeps me on the right track and where I should be at life. When I don't know what direction to go, she shows me the way. She teaches me the right ways and makes sure I steer clear of the wrong ways. She gives me the knowledge I need, even when I don't know I need it.

My dad. He lights up the world. He's a genuinely happy person and makes an effort to speak to everyone he sees. He's joyful and proud. He lights up my life.

These are just a few people who mean the absolute world to me. They inspire so much to be the best I can be and to do something great. I wouldn't be who I am, or where I am in life without them.

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.
