A Letter To Those Who Feel Broken

Look, I know you feel broken. But it's okay to be broken; everyone is broken. No matter how hard people try to hold themselves together, or how perfect their life may seem, at one point or another, they felt exactly the way you have. They have been broken too. They've been shattered. They've thought it's never going to get better and everything is useless.

But they get up, dust themselves off, and fight harder. So what will you do with your broken pieces? Are you going to sit there and feel sorry for yourself? Or will you fight harder? Because at the end of the day, it's all a choice. You decide what you're going to do with your broken pieces. But most importantly always remember to give it all to God. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (Psalms 147:3)

I also want you to know that there is beauty in your brokenness and you may wonder what is so beautiful about depression, anxiety, sickness or whatever your case may be. Beauty in brokenness is trusting God and His perfect timing. It is also realizing that when one is broken, God will put you back together and make something beautiful. It is also realizing that sometimes the answer may be no. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:9)

So whenever you're feeling down again, just remember you are like a sword that is going through the process of being made. A sword goes through the fire and gets hit on in order to get the right shape and size and back into the fire. This process goes on until the desirable look is achieved. But at the end, it is shining brightly and beautiful.

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.
