A Letter To A Friend Going Through A Hard Time
The Current

To my friend going through a hard time,

As I watch you struggling right now, there are a few things I want you to remember. I know that maybe you just need some space right now so here are a few things I want you to remember every single day.

I want you to remember how special you are. You are one of the most special people I have ever met.

I want you to remember how much I love you.

I want you to remember that if you need to take some space, that is perfectly OK. I will be here for you when you need me.

I want you to remember to never let a boy decide your worth because if he can't see how special you are then he is not worth your time.

I want you to remember that you have so many people that love you.

I want you to remember how strong you are. You are one of the strongest people I know even after everything you have been through.

I'm so sorry for everything you've had to go through but I believe that it has just made you stronger.

I want you to remember to put yourself first. Sometimes it's absolutely necessary.

I want you to remember to not care what other people think of you.

I want you to remember that you are a princess and that you can't let anyone treat you like anything less than that.

I want you to remember to take life one day and one thing at a time.

I want you to remember that you deserve the world.

I want you to remember that you are enough.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
