An Open Letter To The People That Get Put Down
@_giannaromano

We all know in the world we live in people aren't always generous.

To the people that constantly get put down by others, especially if it's someone you haven't even had a conversation with. The sporadic world that we live in tends to bite us in the ass sometimes. My advice to you is to know that people only care about themselves. Everyone does things to benefit themselves and although that may be a hard concept to grasp and understand, know that you must do the same. Care for yourself, but, also care for others; although don't care about others more than yourself because it will lead to you being unhappy.

I've recently encountered a wonderful human being who pointed out to me that there are kind people in the world, in fact there are lots of them. But, there are also many people who are imprisoned in their mind and act out which may make them seem quite awful. There are people that are feeling bad about themselves but will cover it and make their thoughts become their actions. This means that people could be really jealous of you or want to be you and they will say awful things about you, especially when it comes to boys. Girls will throw you in front of a bus if it means they get the guy they want. Our society shouldn't be like this because boyfriends are most likely temporary, people are temporary. That is the biggest thing I learned this year. People are going to come into your life and treat it as a vacancy or a motel- people will come and go when they please, that is life.

If someone is constantly putting you down take it as a compliment that they are spending that much time out of their day to think about you. You are running through their thoughts like a treadmill. They may say negative things to you or completely destroy you but take that as a life lesson. Look at it as you are far more better than them, you don't take the time out of your day to ruin someone else's. Some people stay trapped in teenage behaviors for the rest of their lives. Look at it as you are moving forward and maturing.

People want to get a rise out of you... they live off of it, if you pay no attention to it, it will piss them off more. So piss off the people that do these things to you instead of satisfying them because at the end of the day you know that you didn't stoop down to some ignorant child's level.

My advice to you is that you should ignore it, ignore all the negative bull. Do you and don't care what other people think, you know who you are. If you have friends that are doing this to you cut them off and find some better ones, it is all really that simple.

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.
