Things Change

It’s hard

When you feel something that hurts you so much but you don’t want to bother others with your problems

It’s hard

Opening up to someone who has never let you in on their own lives

It’s hard

Seeing everyone around you genuinely happy, so you act the same

It’s hard

Losing people who you thought would never leave

But the hardest part is,

Not knowing what comes next.

Not knowing if your making the right decisions

Not knowing if someone else could make you happier than you are right now

And not knowing what the future holds

Life is scary, you know?

One day everything seems perfect

You’re smiling, laughing, and it feels as if everything is in place

But the next day is different

The next day you feel pain, and loneliness, and sadness

And that’s okay too

Everything is temporary and nothing lasts forever

Happiness is not a destination, it’s a feeling

I believe the best feeling in life is reassurance

Knowing people care about you

Knowing people are proud of you

Knowing your doing something right

What more could you ask for?

And the people who make you laugh the most in your life,

Those are the most important ones

Because laughter is the best medicine

Find something to be grateful for every single day

There is so much to be happy about

Remember that a bad day does not mean a bad life

Bad days are what make the good ones 10x better

And don’t ever forget how important your family is too

So thank god every day for them

and for all of your friends, because they are your second family

As you get older you will realize that your circle will become smaller

But that is also a part of life

Years go by faster and faster

As each day goes by you never see a difference

But one day you look back and everything is different

And you realize so much has changed

And you see that you are no longer anything like the person you used to be

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.
