Don't ever wish your life away.

Letter To The High School Girl Who Thinks She Has It All Figured Out
Callie Futey

Dear my darling,

That boy you claimed to love with all of your heart, you know the one. He was the one that made your heart race at the sound of his name. I know you’ve dreamed that he would be the one you stayed and cherished memories with.

I’m aware that you spent every waking moment with him also. I’m also aware that you’re broken hearted feeling like nothing and nobody can “fix” you. Then there was that friend that talked the most about you, but had the brightest smile and was ready to talk you up when you walked by.

Well, let me tell you this: that boy, the one you swear was perfect isn’t perfect if he could let a gem like you go. I know you believed in him like he was a fairly tale and I know it’s hard to get over him as well. Yes, there are going to be days when you feel like dying but the one thing you have to remember is when you were stuck listening to his lies.

You may feel alone because you dropped that unsupportive friend but you just have to know that it was for the best and I promise you’ll notice who would really stick by you no matter what. Sometimes people are meant to stay in our lives, but instead some are meant to only take a little ride to show us what and who we deserve.

You’re going to go through a tough time but in the midst of it, just realize that it’s all worth it. You’ll be glad you found yourself and clarified your morals. You’re going to wish someday that you had taken that chance or went to that one place that people begged you to go, but those are called regrets and I’m begging you not to have anymore of them.

Please don’t ever wish your life away no matter how badly you want high school to end. High school is just a practice round and you’ll realize in college that what you do matters, whether it’s breaking you or making you, so enjoy being free of the real world’s dictation at the moment.

You may feel as if you have everything all figured out but I promise you that life will flip you upside down and when that happens, pray that you surrounded yourself with the right people and you’ll be okay

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.
