From the Girl Who Gives It Her All

It is perfectly fine to completely devote yourself to your passions

I know there are many people out there who can understand where I am coming from. No matter what it is that I am doing, I always put more than I possibly could into it. Whether it be friendships, relationships, school, work, or anything I do really, I always put all that I can into it. It puts yourself up for more pain, but that is not why I do it. Because in the end, it really is more rewarding.

I have always been taught that unless you put yourself completely into something, can you say that you even really tried? I am a very passionate person, and when I am involved with things that I absolutely adore, I can’t help but to go all out. You bet that I am the girl that will come and pick you up at 3 AM because you have no one to talk to, or the girl who will stay up as late as she can to finish homework, and still make time to read. You know why? Because I have never half done anything, and I am very proud of that.

Sometimes it can be very discouraging. Especially when it comes to another person. It can always be easy to assume someone is not completely into something as I am, only because I put my whole heart and soul into it. However, I always have to remind myself that everyone is different. But just know, if you are like I am, it is okay. You aren’t the only one.

It is okay to want to be with someone as much as you can, or work as many hour as you possibly can. It is a very unique personality trait that makes someone special. It is a wonderful trait to have, even if it means getting hurt a couple of times.

No matter how many times you get hurt, don’t let this change you. There are always going to be people who either don’t appreciate this about you, or they will try to take advantage of it. It is up to you to weed the good people out from the bad. Though if you are as trusting as I am, everyone can seem like a kind person. Just take this advice from me, don’t let anyone take your shine away. Being passionate is a good thing to be, because passion is such a wonderful thing to have. If you are passionate about something, it means you truly want whatever it is that you are after.

Always stay on the positive side, because that is all you can do. With all the negativity that can be in this world, it is easy to be influenced by it. So just tell yourself that you are always going to give it your all, even when it feels as if you have nothing left to give.

That is just the type of person I am, and I am perfectly okay with it. I love being able to be completely overwhelmed with something, while not losing sight of myself.

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.
