You never expect that everything you had grown accustomed to would change at the drop of a dime. Spending two years of your life with someone seems like such a small chunk of your life when you look back in time. Although it seems short, there is nothing that can describe the hurt you feel when it all ends and its not on your terms. Life seems to become harder when the person you thought was your life... leaves.

To the Girl Whose Life Was Turned Upside Down,

You are more than enough and eventually someone will see the stars in your eyes and hang on tight. Your world is not defined by the love that another person once gave you. You are capable of amazing things and your beauty shines brighter than you could have ever imagined. For so long you defined yourself through a boy who did not share the same idea of the future as you, and that's okay. You will be okay, It may seem like your world is crumbling, and it may be the demolition of one part of your world, but not your whole world. You will triumph and the victory will be sweet.

So, Hold your head high and remember these three things:

1. The world has not stopped but instead it is just beginning for your new adventures

Believe in yourself and the amazing things that you can accomplish. You are the only person who can define your life, and do not allow this minor set back to have a negative impact on your major comeback. There is a world worth exploring out there, go and tackle all of it.

2. Your beauty runs deep

It is hard to imagine your beauty when you feel like you have been deserted, but I promise you that you are beautiful in every way imaginable. You can not allow this boy to define who you are because he is not the one if he feels the need to change who you are, Your beauty runs deeper than anything he could dream of changing you into.

3. Let go and live a little

It is okay to move on and to find happiness in things that are not this boy, you are allowed to make your own decisions without fear of his opinion, Allow yourself this freedom and the sooner you will be able to find yourself and who you are without interference from him.

It will not be easy, and it will take time, but the view is worth the climb. I believe in you, and now the next step is to believe in yourself.

sincerely,

The girl who has worn your shoes and walked the path you're on.

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.
