.

1. Spiders 

I mean, I just don’t understand how anyone can like spiders in the first place. If I find one in my room, and I lose it before I can kill it, I’m not sleeping in my room for at least three weeks.

2. Ventriloquist dolls 

I don’t really know where this fear began. But it’s become so bad, that I cry every time I see one in person.

3. Being alone 

Many people fear death, or how they’re going to die. I fear being alone towards the end of my life.

4. Deep bodies of water 

Pools, Oceans, Rivers, I don’t care. They’re could be a shark just waiting to grab you.

5. Failure 

Success always seems right in my reach. Sometimes, I get scared that I’m just going to miss it.

6. Being unhappy 

My happiness is the most important.

7. Rejection 

You know when you get turned down so badly, to the point where you just want to crawl in bed, and not be seen ever again? Yeah. I hate that:

8. Heights 

Swinging on a swing set, or standing on a roof. Just never a good feeling.

9. Drowning 

For some people, this may seem like the dumbest fear. But I can’t swim, so I think it’s pretty fitting.

10. Embarrassment 

Something that happens to me daily.

11. Not being able to have kids 

If someone tells you that you can’t do, or have something, you want it so much more.

12. The dark

I can deal with it. I just don’t like it.

13. Loving someone who doesn’t love me back 

I don’t want to waste my time, like I have in the past.

14. True love

Is it even out there?

15. The future 

You know when someone asks you if you could see into your future, would you? I wouldn’t.

16. Pollution 

The world is slowly dying. And it’s the scariest thing.

17. Racist people 

How can I, and why would I, change who I am?

18. Being buried alive 

Even if you somehow managed to claw your way out, you’d run out of air before you could save yourself.

19. Extinction of plants and animals 

The world is beautiful. We really don’t deserve it.

20. A bug going in my ear while I’m sleeping at night 

Please. Just no.

21. Being kidnapped by a creepy Uber driver 

You know right away whether it will be a good uber driver, or a creepy one.

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.
