Your happiness should be a priority, right? ;)

Isn’t it something that we often obsess over the relationships we feel are unfinished? We all have someone; Maybe they’re someone you always go back to, someone that just got away, or maybe someone who never got the chance.

Maybe it’s the difference, maybe it’s the distance, maybe as you grow to know them you realize that the two of you are best left as friends... but deep down want to make it out of the friend-zone. They are your guilty pleasure in your mental space. But that does not make them any less important.

“The timing isn’t right”

“It wasn’t meant to be”

The words that find a way to shatter everything inside you within a matter of seconds.

I will never understand how everything can be so perfect; the feeling, the compatibility, the emotion.

If things aren’t meant to be, Why does it feel like it is?

Everything happens for a reason. When it comes to your happiness, is that not worth figuring out?

I have to constantly say to myself, If someone makes you feel, let them. LET IT HAPPEN. You know just as well as I, it’s not always an easy thing to do. But if that person cannot admit that to themselves, throw that on the list of why it's not meant to be.

Actions speak louder than words, and words cannot even hide the connection when they're saying to you that they don't feel it. I’ve learned to trust my gut and the actions of the boys I talk to now, and it’s really helped me weed out the bad ones!

Have you ever met someone, regardless of the situation, the location, the age; and you just felt this strong connection towards them? Whether it was mutual or not, it was there and inside of you and you felt it everywhere.

I beat myself up a lot for not going after things I felt a strong connection towards, if I could go back in time, or if I had a do-over, you best believe I would make things better.

You will never connect the same way with any other person you meet and every person offers you something different. I used to talk to this boy who would say this all the time and I never actually got it, until now.

Not everything is going to make sense, and not everything has an immediate answer as to why it is the way it is, although I know I wish it did. But, for the things that do, try and get that answer. Figure it out.

Things are not always as they appear, and that itself is the most amazing thing in my opinion. So whatever makes you happy, follow it. We feel things for a reason. You owe yourself that. Do something that matters, something that makes YOU happy.

Your happiness should be a priority, right? Make it so!

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.
