When Life Has Dealt You The Wrong Hand

As much as we would like life to be perfectly peachy, we all know that's never the case. Some of us are luckier than others and only experience a little bit of this misfortune but for those people that understand what it’s like to never be dealt the right hand in life, you can relate to how awful it is.

There are days when you feel as if it cannot get any worse, but you know that for you that's not the case at all. Everything in your life is just so unsettled, and mopping around just seems like another day in paradise for you. Stepping in a puddle at the beginning of your day, seems so mediocre to all the other things that will occur throughout your day. You feel like there's nothing good in your life, or for the most part nothing that will make it better.

Even when things seemed to be going well for you, no matter what it ends badly. Even when you try your hardest to act like everything is going to work out and be alright, you get knocked down once again. You constantly ask yourself why, why does this always happen to me, and you know you will never get answers. You just have to live your life knowing that most things you do will not end happily. Things are surely not fair, and life was never known to be.

You have built your days around trying to accept your bad luck but sometimes situations are to hard to deal with, and you feel like giving up is your only option. People around you just don't understand what it's like to be in your shoes, and you feel like trying to make them understand about all of your misfortunes is not even worth your effort.

My advice to you, people that think your life's cursed, is to cherish all moments in your life that make you truly happy. When you find something, someone that makes you smile live in the moment rather than thinking of the future. Try to enjoy all of the littlest things throughout your day and ignore all the things that make your day difficult.

One day all your misgivings will add up to make a larger picture. Things will finally seem to fall in place, and those days of crying yourself to sleep will finally end knowing that all the issues that you’ve gone through in life have finally added up to something. Eventually you'll adjust to all your misdirections, and you'll realize that even though you were dealt the shit end of the stick, your life is equally as important as anyone's else's. So don’t just throw the towel in when it get’s hard, simply just make do with the things that make you smile in life and things won’t seem all that hard.So stay patient because that day will come, no matter how far it seems.

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.
