Embrace Your Heartbreak And Grow From It
@Aeropostale

So you’ve fallen in love, which everyone does but the hard thing is they don’t love you back. This happens to most people and some such as myself have it happen a few times. It happens unintentionally sometimes, something will happen and you realize you love them. But the worse thing is when you love them unconditionally, and see them loving another person. You’d do anything for them because you love them and they won't love back.

You can give them 110%, but you won't get that back from them.

Even worse, you have to accept they don’t feel the same.

This is all OK. Accepting it is even better cause that’s how you move on. You have to open your heart to this because when you do, you open yourself up to the pain. Pain is what makes us stronger you feel that pain come and you’ll feel it diminish over time, but it never fully leaves.

You fall in love with that friend whose in a happy relationship and cause you love them you let them be and don’t do anything to hurt what you have. You are their friend and that’s what they need, a friend. So you watch them happy and in love as your heart breaks bit by bit. Then they do things like move in with each other, they do things like get engaged and that kills you.

The good thing is you have them in your life, and they do love you just not how you want but that’s better than losing them.

So you’re broken and hurt, you think your life is over because the person you love has someone else. Guess what? We were made to love others. One friend has broken your heart and now another has you do whatever they want and when they want it. They ask you to do crazy things and you do every last thing they need and don’t blink.

When you’re out of your mind all you can think of is this person, you want to be near them, to see them. Sadly it’s obvious they don’t feel the same. You need something and they don’t help, you plan something they lie and cancel, you hug them and it's not returned. Then you snap you’ve had enough and will never love again. Stop right there and don’t do that. Don’t shut off your feelings--- embrace them even if you have to take time away from the person.

Someone is going to come around and make you feel something. Even if it's not love, it's just a 'like', that like can blossom into love. You will find love repeatedly and eventually its going to be returned. So if you’re the type who falls instantly or the type who hates all feelings and accidentally falls, embrace that heartbreak and grow.

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.
