I Always Hated Feeling Like An Outsider, But I've Learned To Accept Myself And Not Feel So Alone

I was always known as the quiet one but also talks too. I was very different than most socially. I was not outgoing, I was not shy, I was in the middle. I was always hard to come around and needed to open up, but I often still feel the sense of quietness in me. I was an early riser which most did not get.

Most people in the teenage, young adult age hate waking up early. I was not that one. I never partied nor did I follow a crowd. That is not out of place, it's who I am.

Girl, just know that if you feel out of place, you are not alone. You are reading from someone who can relate. It's OK to be the quiet one. It's OK to not want to be around a crowd, it's OK to not be interested in partying. It's who you are, what matters is you have a heart and prefer to show your heart to everyone in your own way.

Just know that being a follower is not what you should want. Being yourself is what you want. Don't listen to what others say, focus on loving who you are and finding the ones who can relate, love, and accept you for who you are.

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.

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.
