Hang On To The People Who Check Up On You

These friends are gold; never let them go.

Life can get in the way sometimes. Life can be a bore, or it can be spontaneous. Things can be good for a minute and then everything could hit the fan. Spiraling out of control.

You can feel alone during these times. You sit on the floor by the foot of your bed, and your head kicks back. You feel so "by yourself" that it's painful to think about.

But really, you are not alone and NEVER will be.

When you think you honestly don't, you do have people who care for you. You have those, whether they are friends or family, and they love you so much. Hang on to those people.

When people check up on you, that means they love you. These times may feel like the world is falling apart, but if you get text messages from the ones asking you how you are, the world gets a little lighter.

Never let go of those people who reach out to you on their own time. Take the time to thank them, even if you are at your worst. Take a day and hang out with them. Find that time together, with one another, to feel better.

Remember, you are not alone in the battle you are fighting in. You got help, warriors, strength against the odds of life that can break us down.

With these friends, with your family, everything is a little better. The sun shines a little brighter, you feel warmer on the inside, and you smile a little bigger. Nothing seems completely dreadful with them around.

I'm so lucky to have friends and family like that. They can simply drop whatever they are doing and check up on me at the most random times. Even if my days are good, they still reach out. They know who they are and I hope they know that they are the best.

Whenever you just want to cry until the end of the world and curse at the skies, just remember that you have people who absolutely love you and would do anything for you. Please, don't lose them. Hang 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.
