Wandering Star,

You've come a long way in your life. You've had your ups and downs, and right now you're down again. You've come to the end of your lucky streak, and it feels like every turn you make leads to a tougher road to travel on. I know it may seem like this is the end of your world, but it's not. You've survived worse, and you'll survive this too.

I'm not sure what's getting you down, but whether it's a bad relationship, a lost opportunity, or just tough situations in every day life, you've got this. You absolutely have the strength within you to push on. I promise you, this situation may be devastating now, but it is so small in the grand scheme of things. Do not let yourself stay at rock bottom. You have to keep your chin up if you want to make it out of this.

Here's what you do: take a day and have a good cry. Give yourself 24 hours to be sad and let all of your emotions out. You can spend a day binge-watching Nicholas Sparks movies and sobbing into a pint of ice cream, and just let it all out. After that, pick yourself up off the ground and remember who you are. Remember that you are incredible. Remember your dreams and goals, and don't let anything keep you from going where you need to go in life. Remember that this person, opportunity, or situation does not define your worth. What you're going through is meant to make you stronger. Everything happens for a reason, including this.

I won't lie to you; you're going to have more bad days. You're going to have even worse days. Just remember that you should never let a bad day or a bad or desperate mood sacrifice who you are. Never let yourself sink to a level that makes you into a different person. Remember that nobody and nothing can strip you of your dignity.

Sweet girl, i just want you to know that there is at least one person out there who cares about you. I want you to know that you're important and your thoughts and opinions absolutely matter. I want you to know that you're already perfect the way you are, and that you don't need to try to impress anyone or make anyone think that you're someone you're not. I want you to know that you can do whatever your heart is set on. You will make your dreams come true as long as you keep your chin up and stay focused on your goals. You don't need the approval of people who will only drag you down. You need only to surround yourself with people who build you up and support you in everything you do.

You deserve better.

You deserve happiness.

You deserve love.

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.
