If I Had One Wish

I wouldn't wish for more wishes..

If I Had One Wish

If I had one wish, I wouldn't ask for more wishes, or a million dollars, or a new car. I wouldn't ask for material things. I wouldn't ask for all the problems in the world to disappear and I wouldn't ask for everyone to love one another. I wouldn't ask for any of that. If I had one wish, I would wish for everyone to fight. And fight hard.

I would wish for everyone to fight to believe in something so that they knew they had a purpose. Fight to find and follow their passion. Fight to see the good and positive things in life so that negativity doesn't stand a chance. Fight to know where their heart is so that they make sure they can fill it with the things that truly matter (like family, making memories, etc). And I wish everyone would fight to get through the dark times so that they get the the chance to know that there will always be light at the end of the tunnel and that there is always a reason to carry on. I wish people fought to see how beautiful that light is.

I wish people would fight for their happiness because then they would understand that they are the only ones in control of it. I wish we fought to believe in ourselves. Fought to help make the change we want to see in the world, because without us nothing will ever get better. I wish we would fight the urge to judge a book by its cover, fight to understand that we don't always understand, and fight to look past stereotypes and labels so that we can learn to respect and accept people for who they are even if they're different from us.

If I had one wish, I would wish for us to fight with and for one another instead of against each other. I wish we fought for things like love, happiness, and equality, instead of wasting our power and energy on acts of discouragement or negative ideas. I wish we fought to take better care of others, ourselves, and the world. And I wish we fought like hell to prove that we could do it all if we tried.

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.
