Letting Go

It's hard but it makes you so much stronger..

Letting Go

Letting go.

It’s one of the hardest things to do, but something that we have to do quite a bit in life.

It could be something as little as letting go of the fact that you failed your test, or as big as letting go of someone you love.

Either way, letting go is hard. Letting go will always be something you have to do, but something you'll never fully understand how to do.

In the end, you realize that letting go was the best choice, even if it hurt. Like letting go of a toxic relationship because it's not healthy anymore, or because they don't love you back. But after you let go you feel relief, but you don't know where it might go.

One day you come across that time in your head, where you let go, and you'll see that despite the trouble, the hurt, anger and every little other thing, you were hurt but so so brave. Focusing on yourself, when faced with an if or when situation is the most important, and letting go through the pain is making you stronger and stronger.

You'll sit in your room for days wondering if you made the right decision. You'll cry, and beg for guidance. Sometimes it'll take you on a whirlwind of emotions, but you know yourself better than anyone. If you feel like you should let go of something, it is the best choice.

It might hurt, but in the end..I promise you will be smiling. Let go of whatever is

laying deep on you, because that is causing you the most hurt.

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.
