I Hope You Grow

I hope you become the best version of yourself.

I hope you grow. I hope you grow into the person you have always dreamed to be. We are constantly changing, but sometimes, we get stuck. That is when you need to think what is best for you in order to grow. Change is scary, but it is what you need in order to live.

As time goes on, the people you've known your whole life change a little bit. Look at it more as the people you have known and loved are growing; just as you are. As I've gotten older, I've learned what the people around me have become passionate about, their adventures, and have watched them really become themselves. You need to step out of your comfort zone. Do things you were always too scared to do. Be the best version of yourself.

Find the people who will help you grow. Always surround yourself with people who bring out the good vibes. Whether it's a significant other, or just a friend, you want that person to bring out the best in you. People who will cheer you on, and pick you up when you're down. If you find that person, or those people, hold onto them.

Everyone grows at different rates. Always remember that; the point is that you are growing. You are constantly learning, becoming wiser (sometimes), and life throws lessons at you everyday. It may not seem like it, but think of yourself six months ago. If it's any situation like mine, I have learned so much about life and myself I'm almost a completely different person.

Never let someone stunt your growth. Never let someone make you feel less special than you are; not a boy, friend, family member. No one. You are a person with goals and aspirations, and you can never let someone take that from you. Grow past any negativity thrown your way, as hard as it may be. I know many people think this sounds stupid. Maybe it does. I truly believe that everyone is constantly growing and will never stop.

There's always the idea of finding someone to grow with you. Two people who build each other up and help each other grow. But it is most important to help yourself grow first. You need to learn yourself before you can fully learn someone else. When you do finally find that person, they can always help you learn yourself even more.

I hope you grow more than you ever imagined you could. I hope you learn, love, hurt, fail, succeed, and everything in between. I hope you let go of that one thing you think you can't let go of. I hope you grow as tall and bright as a sunflower.

I hope you grow.

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.
