Since the ripe age of 13, John Mayer has never put down the guitar, giving us pleasure in whatever he produces and plays. Whether it is about falling in and out of love or contemplating the extreme concept of life and death, John Mayer has proven time and time again to be a true master of guitar.

Beginning with his 1999 E.P. release of Inside Wants Out, all the way to his most recent album, The Search for Everything, in 2017, John Mayer has been providing us subtle reminders not only about our relationships but also our life.

A big life lesson in the majority of his songs is that love is a roller coaster.

There will be times of joy and amusement, and times of depression and anger. From "Love is a Verb" to "I Don't Trust Myself," we learn that our emotional relationships are not going to be steady. However, the one thing that remains is that love is there and it will all impact us in some way.

Another big life lesson is that life is a constant and consistent change from one state to another. Whether it's a physical, mental, or emotional change, we all go through it and no one can deny it.

His song "Changing" is evident to this idea. When he says, "I may be old and I may be young, but I am not done changing," it is paramount to our overall existence, whether our change is something as small as cutting our hair or something as big as losing a large weight.

Finally, the most important lesson is to simply love. No matter how much it hurts, just love those people who come in an out of your life. We are all humans, and we all are here for a short amount of time. Just think about how many people you have glanced at or talked to for the last time.

I hope John continues to write us more stories about his love and life to carry into ours.

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.
