Happiness is Attainable

Happiness can be found in so many different places in so many different ways, and each time a new happiness is found, it will be different too. Depending on who and what is involved in your happiness, it is bound to be changed.

Some people come into your life with the intention to make you happy forever and ever, but that happiness ends up being short lived. Others will come into your life and genuinely mean it when they say it and they will stick around for the long-run.

Personally speaking, I have met some wonderful people who have been with me for as long as I could remember. I can find happiness within them because they're reliable and always know how to make sure I am content with my life.

The people who have come in and out of my life gave me temporary happiness, until they decided to leave and take their happiness with them. You have to go through this in life in order to understand it fully.

Unfortunately, the people who leave will leave you upset for a little while, and that's all fair but others can never dictate your happiness. I really cannot stress enough how depending on someone else for happiness if never the way to go. You have to find happiness within yourself and then you're set and things in life will be much more smooth.

On a more positive note, there are people that will show up into your life a little later than the rest, which is definitely okay since meeting new people is fun. They will make you forget about all the unhappiness that you have felt before, and you will feel like you're on cloud nine. Although with these people, it's sometimes hard to tell if they'll stick around, you think and hope that they will because the happiness found within them is a rarity and needs to be cherished at all costs.

You have to believe within yourself that happiness is in this world, but you also cannot expect it from everyone. The amount of happiness will fluctuate constantly, but at the end of the day you have yourself to be grateful and happy for, and that says a lot.

Moral of this story is that happiness is found wherever you may look. Most of the time it's super unexpected and found in the weirdest of places, but all of the types of happiness are worth it.

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.
