In the best movies or works of literature, nothing is more triumphant or beautiful than when the main character overcomes devastation. The most beautiful parts of our lives begin at the end of tragedy. No one decides to change his or her life because everything is going right. People change when something alludes them to do so.

The tragedies and hardships of our lives bring out the best aspects of our selves. In a way, it separates the strong parts of ourselves from the weak. It proves how strong of thinkers we can become when faced with the most difficult questions, it proves our will to hold onto something so gravely that we could so easily let go of, and it proves how beautifully humanity can bond together when devastation strikes.

Tragedy brings out our independence. It shows how one individual can stand alone for the greater good and form an army. Our form of independence draws amazing people into our life people that we may have never gotten the privileged to meet without the willpower we have to push our self through difficult situations.

But most importantly the hardest parts of our lives make us change. They make us wake up in the morning and want to prove something to ourselves and everyone else. They allow us to come at peace with our past selves and determine us to focus on our future selves to work towards a better tomorrow. It makes us stand for what we believe in no matter what the majority says is true.

Because of this form of independence, we get beautiful movements that move the world and influence nations. We are the foundation for the youth and need to take the curve balls life throws at us in stride and prove change isn't always a bad thing.

Sometimes you can't just roll with the punches these hard parts of life prove this to us because to see change, we have learned to take it into our own hands, and that is truly the most beautiful thing.

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.
