Forgiveness is often a touchy subject with many people; people can feel very different on this topic. It depends on the person. Some find forgiving to be easy, while others may find it near impossible. People may have to forgive someone for many reasons -- from being cheated on or being talked about in a negative way, to an awful argument. Having to forgive someone often comes with more feelings such as betrayal, hurt, disappointment and shock. Although this may be hard, open your eyes and mind on these three reasons to forgive others.

1. They are human

Everyone is human, and living on this same crazy earth you are. Unfortunately, we do not get a manual when we arrive. So often people make mistakes by not knowing, or thinking, at the time of their mistake. Cut them a break, help them learn from it and move on with life. I bet you have made a mistake once or twice.

2. Sh*t happens

Everyone messes up a time or two. People often do not think when their mistakes happen, they do not realize their actions and how they may affect others or their own lives. Put yourself in their shoes, see how you feel and realize that if it was you, you would want forgiveness.

3. It is right

Forgiveness is the right thing to do. Forgiveness helps you grow as a individual, lover, friend, family member and co-worker. It is the experiences that may hurt the most to get over and move on from that let you spread your wings and fly as a new person.


So the next time you get in a disagreement or a tough situation where you find it hard to forgive someone remember these three things.

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.
