Well, you made it this far. I don't think you ever thought that you would end up where you are at this moment. Sure, it's not what you had planned but it is where your supposed to end up. Always remember to keep your head up. You know how the saying goes, "when the going gets tough the tough get going". You may not have your life figured out and you might think it's in shambles but I can assure you that it's not the end of the world. Sometimes in order to be found you need to be lost first. You just have to keep doing what makes you happy. Forget what others have to say about your choices, it's your life to live anyway.

Maybe that boy you thought you were going to marry broke your heart or you broke his, or you didn't do as well on that job interview as you wanted too. Life goes on. Relax, eventually you will figure everything out. I know it's hard to see now and even harder to believe. It probably feels as though your world is collapsing and as it turns out everything you thought you knew is actually just all one big lie. As Andy Biersack once said "Every sixty seconds you spend upset is one moment of happiness you will never get back". Eventually life will work it's self out, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but it will.

In the meantime enjoy the little things in life because one day you will look back and realize they were the big things. Collect moments, not things. Most importantly, do what makes you happy, no happiness won't pay the bills but it will complete you. Laugh often. Worry less. If you shed a tear make sure that it is for the right reason and not for the wrong one. If you must control the situation, control the things you can take of; whether or not you go to bed happy or sad, spending time with your family/friends, laughing or worrying. As an unknown author once said "You may not always end up where you thought you were going, but you will always end up where you are meant to be". It might not all be figured out yet but eventually it will be.

I hope you don't stress over the little things but learn to let go of them. I hope that for every door that closes, you look for a new one to open. I hope that you learn that having all A's isn't everything. I hope you live in the moment of every day life and try not imagine worse case scenarios. I hope you look for the good in every situation. I hope that you choose the choice that is right for you. I hope that you realize you may not have your life together right now but that doesn't mean you never will.

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.
