Keep Your Loved Ones Close

There is no point in success unless you have someone to share it with

Keep Your Loved Ones Close

Life works in interesting ways. People come and go, but the ones who are meant to stay in your life will find their way back to you. With that being said, we should always keep these people close to our hearts. Whether it be a friend, a pet, a family member, or a role model, they deserve to be treated with love and respect. They are the ones who have been there for us through thick and thin and would want to be by our side no matter what. It is important that we don't take that for granted. We never know when life can turn around unexpectedly.

We confide in our loved ones for a lot of things. Whether it be someone to talk to, explore the world with, eat with, or a shoulder to cry on. They are our biggest motivators and supporters. To me, the key to happiness is having good health and company (your loved ones). With all of these things, I firmly believe that one can live a happy life. There is no point in success unless you had someone to share it with. The best news is shared with the people you care about and the ones who you consider important in your life.

It is important that we help them when times get tough. The good ones will be there for you when you were there for them. They will not step all over you and risk what you had with them. After all, everything does happen for a reason - people come and go but the ones who are meant to stay will continue to do so. These are the people who stand by you and watch you grow and they are the ones who make you want to become a better person. They do not try to change your entire personality - these are considered toxic people. They lift you up and inspire you to make positive changes. Good friends, for example, do not change their character in certain circumstances - they continue to have the same values and beliefs. In other words, they do not change for the worse when put into a different social environment.

In mature relationships, people recognize what their priorities are. With that, they do not forget the ones who were there for them when no one else was. Both of them make the effort to communicate with one another and see each others' worth. They let each other know consistently through actions and words that they appreciate one another and that they are each other half. They do not try to change each other and work their way to conquer life, one step at a time together. They realize that they are not alone in this world and that they have each other no matter what. In certain circumstances, if life separates the two, they know that they will always be with each other.

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.
