A Letter To Whoever,

I probably don't know who you are and I'm sure you don't know who I am. But what I do know is that sometimes there are times when you just need to hear that things will be okay and that you're loved. And sometimes that happens more often than not and you know what, that's completely alright. You just have to remember that people are rooting for you, and people do believe in you, even if they don't always say it. Sometimes people don’t exactly have the right words to say to tell you that they love you or that they’re proud of you. Remember, though, just because someone doesn’t say something right away or sometimes even at all, that doesn’t mean that they don’t care or they aren’t there for you.

Times can get tough. Plans fall through, and sometimes things go terribly wrong. No matter who you are, where you're from, or how much money is in your account—anything can happen and chances are, at some point, you will struggle. But I really hope you know that even though it may take time, things will get better. A lot of the time, positive changes will not happen overnight, so try to give yourself and your situation some time to heal and progress. Regardless of whether you're starting a new job, school, activity, or whatever, eventually you will get the hang of things and everything will go smoothly. Starting something new is always a scary thing, but try to remember that you’re never alone.

You have the capability to decide who you are in this world. Make sure that you show the people on this planet just how amazing you really are. Everybody was given a reason to be on this earth. Do something good with that. Make something of yourself. Put your talents to good use. All of that may seem a little hard at first, and it may possibly seem a little hard for a while, but like all good things, in time, it will work out the way it was supposed to. If you feel lost and don’t know where to go, or you’re feeling down, just look around and talk to people. Ask for help and advice. Most of the time, people will lend a helping hand. Too many times we forget that other people are going through things that are very similar to what we are going through. Don't lose hope because of uncertainty. Don't let yourself be afraid because you're starting something new. Embrace it. Accept the new challenges in your life and remember that better things are coming.

You all have the ability to make a positive change in the lives of people around you whether you know them or not. Maybe you can write a letter to someone you know—maybe even a stranger. Or maybe, you can just tell the people in your life how important they are to you. Kind words and actions go a long way. And a lot of the times, you never know just how much someone might need it...

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.
