Do you need to build a bridge or tear one down?

How To Get Back Up After Tragedy
Vianester Huslzen

After being kicked when you are down, has anyone ever asked you if you are okay? Isn't it crazy how much things can fall into place and before you know it, everything is holding on my a string? Within a month or week something can impact you in such a moving way. Positive or negative. One of the worst feelings is when you have many problems of your own and others tries to compare their own and say theirs are worse.

Others should realize that everyone goes through their own personal issues. Therefore, everyone handles their own situations differently. If someone comes to you with their problems, it is very important to realize that someone felt comfortable enough to come to you to vent or have advice. Society needs to realize that some of our problems is not because of others, it is because of ourselves. Never try to pin your every day problems on someone else and if they are trying to help don't get offended. Society judges what they do not understand.

The hardest thing is knowing you try your hardest and nothing comes out as planned. Life get's really hard but I truly believe it is God's way of knowing that some people can handle hard situations that others cannot. The most relieving moment is knowing you have very caring family members and friends. Having a very strong supportive system is one of the most beneficial things anyone could ask for. Life gets stressful at times for everyone. But instead of isolating and shutting others out. Spread love and take care of one another. Somehow things always end up working out.

During these hard times, I could not be more thankful and blessed for everyone that has helped me become stronger every day. With all the difficulties I have been/am going through, it makes me who I am today. Some bridges are meant to be torn down and some are waiting to be built. I can not wait to see where the future will take me and the ones around me. I may struggle at times but I will never quit.

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.
