Elephants. I've loved them for a long time, and would not hesitate to tell you that they are absolutely my favorite animal at the moment. And, as cute as they are, there are also loads of cute and interesting pictures of them all over the internet. So, here are 5 elephant pictures that represent things everyone should remember in life!

1. Family is important.

And I mean that in whatever way the word family represents you and those you love. Family isn't necessarily about blood relation, but about who matters to you and caring fully about one another. Having people you call family can help make you the person you are today, and the person you are going to be later on in life.

2. Friends are important too.

Again, a great thing to have in life is a group of people who love and support you in all of your endeavors. Whether they are friends or family, this group of people are important. These are people you can turn to in times of need and genuinely care about you. And they help shape you and help you grow into the person you want to be.

3. It's okay to be a little weird.

Let's be real, everyone is different and special in their own way. I know you've heard it all before, but for real. It's awesome and definitely okay. It is okay to be just like the little elephant who is unafraid to wave their trunk around while others watch on. Be your awesome and weird self.

4. Don't forget to have fun!


No matter what course of action you pursue in your life, it should make happy, and be something you enjoy. At least, that's something I've always believed in. And if you aren't having fun, then at least do not be afraid to take a break every once in a while so that you can have fun doing something you enjoy. It's okay to take a break when you need to.

5. Above all else, love as much as you can.


Love really shapes who are. Having others who love you, and you having the ability to love and care about others. I know I have talked about it before, and I bring it up a lot, but I sincerely believe it. The world without love would be nothing but a cold, desolate place. People would be nothing but hateful and ruthless. Love shapes us more than most things.

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.
