I have had naturally super curly hair for my entire life. As most curly haired people do, I have a love-hate relationship with my hair. Back in middle school it was mostly a hate relationship. But now, as an almost-20 year old, I definitely have more love for my curls. However, there are still some moments when I wish I had more manageable hair. Here are just a few of those moments...and I'm sure you can relate if you're a fellow curly head.

1.  People ask to touch your hair all the time

Maybe it is just because I've grown so used to what I was born with, but I don't think I will ever understand the fascination people have when they see my hair. It's as if no one else in the world has curls.

2.  You always replace the shampoo and conditioner at different times

I'm still waiting for the day I run out of both at the same time.

3. Putting your hair up is a serious commitment.

Once you put your hair into a bun or ponytail, you only have 5 minutes to change your mind before it molds itself into a whole new shape.

4. No product=frizz

I don't think I have ever gone anywhere important without product in my hair. Actually, now that I am thinking about it, I don't think I ever go anywhere without hair product. My hair would literally just be frizz. You wouldn't even be able to tell it's curly.

5.  Too much product=crunchy hair

It's literally the worst. You have to learn the perfect amount of gel/mousse to use because too little leaves you with frizz and too much leaves you feeling crunchy.

6.  You can’t brush it while it’s dry

And if you do, you better be planning on getting in the shower right after

7. You are scared of haircuts

You're always afraid that the hair stylist cuts too much off and you end up with a much fluffier hairstyle than you started with.

8. You complain all the time but you would never trade it

Yes--curly hair can be difficult to manage. But at the same time, you would never trade it for anything else.

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.
