Your Trials And Heartaches Can Build You Into Someone Stronger

To be honest in the midst of trials or heartaches that you might be enduring or endured; you truthfully never see the bright side of things until you're out of it and it has passed. This time feels like a long road that is crowded with overwhelming thoughts and ongoing rainstorms of emotions. These are times that you have to push through in order to get to the other side, but some days it feels almost "impossible." But I am here a girl that has been through it and walked out the other side a BETTER person than better. I am sure that you are saying "maybe for her, but I am different."

In all honesty, we all had someone that said they walked through it and stood there with the ongoing "that's not me" emotion and thought process. It isn't about how you got there, but it's HOW the journey shaped you into someone stronger, and wiser than before. The lessons, trials, bumps all have one thing in common for us and that is they build you into someone maybe wiser, stronger, kinder or grateful for what you have and are.

We often go through the storms so that way we can see a rainbow at the end, and be on a better path that has been set aside for us to endure and we wouldn't have found it otherwise. These trials can truly take away the artificiality to us, and leave behind the raw part of us which shows truly what we long for and how who we are from within. The key to this is to allow the situation to build you by looking at it as a task to accomplish and gain wisdom from. And this my dear will lead you to your final destination.

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.
