It's Not You Against The World
http://2m2h.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

It seems like everything is going wrong and everyone is mad at you. Your whole world is crashing down on you and you alone. Nothing is going the way you planned it to and you feel as if you aren't good enough for anything. It's okay. Your world is not over, you are good enough, and things are going to get better.

So things aren't going the way you planned or wanted them to go? That is okay. Things happen in our lives that we have no control over. We have no way of changing them or preparing for them. They just happen. What we can control is how we react and what we do after. React to the horrible thing that happened. It's okay to cry and to show that you're upset. Never be ashamed of your emotions. Stop bottling that up, it's going to make you feel worse. Take that sadness, that emotion, and turn it into a solution. Do not let things ruin your life. Everything is temporary, even the pain you feel. It will subside and you can learn how to adapt.

You are good enough. ALWAYS. Stop thinking you aren't. And chances are, you're the only one who thinks that. You are good enough for that man/woman, you are good enough for that job, that college, that class. You will always be good enough. Just because you were not chosen for something doesn't mean you aren't enough, that just means that you weren't right for it. And there is nothing wrong with that, but never think that it's because you weren't ever enough. You were too much and you need to start believing that.

It is not you against the world. It is you against yourself. Be on your own team and root for yourself because if you don't, who else can you count on? Be kind to yourself, please. You deserve kindness, you deserve happiness. Things get rough and you will get hurt, there is no stopping that. But please do not let yourself be one of those things. The world is here for you, now you have to start being there for yourself too.

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.
