Dear beautiful people,

Have you ever noticed how carefully you tread? Each and every step, word, and action carefully thought out in hopes of appeasing the one who was supposed to love you unconditionally. Nothing you do is for you. Every move is made like that of a chess game because you don't want to anger the beast.

The relationship has spiraled so far out of control you can't even remember what a loving word or touch is like from them. You try so hard to make it work, not because you want to or even for love but because you feel stuck. You feel as if there is no escape and you have nowhere to turn. You may even feel like you deserve it. Like everything that is said and done to you is just another reason as to why don't deserve happiness and love.

But I am here to say that you do deserve love and happiness. You did nothing wrong and if you want to escape the tallest tower in the castle you can find a way. Everyone deserves a happily ever after, but never at the expense of someone else's.

I know some of you always put others before yourself. Now is the time to do the exact opposite. Because you deserve to be put first. So even when you feel alone or as if there is no hope, just know that you have someone in your corner. You have someone cheering you on as you fight your battle.

You are a warrior and you are strong.

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.
