A Letter To "Those People"

In your life, you will/could be on a great track, doing everything possible to be a good person. You could be curing cancer and there will always be THOSE people who will put you down and make you feel like you're not doing anything right. So this is a letter to those people who wanna try to ruin you before you can really get started in life.

Dear "Those People,"

YOU WILL NOT STOP ME! I am going to accomplish all the dreams I set out to do. I am going to finish everything I start. I will not stop until I've turned over every rock in sight and then some. I am so tired of people like YOU putting me down and making me feel like I'm a bad person. I work harder than you ever will. You may get to me sometimes, hurt my feelings, push me down, but I will ALWAYS get back up. I will always persevere, you know why, because people like you fuel my urge to wanna prove you wrong, I know I'm not perfect, I've made a million mistakes in life, however, how can I do better when I'm constantly being put down. You fill peoples heads with lies and stories about me that are not true. I know who I am and my friends and real family know me for who I really am and they will see through your lies. The thing about people who wanna talk about others and put them down, is that they're overcompensating for something and have people who wanna actually listen to them. YOU may not be happy with your life, you may be jealous for all I know, but that does not make it right to put someone else down who is clearly only human. Also, to those who wanna listen to people talk rudely about others when they knows it's false, you're just as bad as the person talking by instigating it. Here's a couple of sayings you might be familiar with, "Two wrongs don't make a right" and "Don't bite from the hand that feeds you." Therefore, don't take from the person who is helping you or your friend/family, only to put them down in the long run. Also, just because someone did you wrong three years ago, doesn't mean you should constantly give them crap for a mistake. How is a person supposed to build when they've not supporters. That, I believe, is a HUGE issue with our world/society today. There are too many critics and not enough supporters, people to encourage you, in this world. It's about time we stop living by what we hear from the grapevine and start living by loving and supporting one another. The only thing you're accomplishing when you put another person down is making that person lose hope for their futures, their dreams. Don't be that person, encourage and help people to accomplish their dreams. Stop with this grown up bullying and gossiping and be a good person.

Sincerely,

Me, the person who is going to succeed

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.
