Love is A Powerful Thing And We Should Be Using It More Often

Show the world and scream it from the mountain tops because love is here.

What is love? Just like that song, we sometimes all wonder what love is. It's this feeling we have but it differs by person and situation. Should we be showing more love? Should we be showing less love? In today's world, do we see love often or do we need more of it? Why do people shy away from love and vow never to let it touch them? Love is love.

There are some people who spend their whole life looking for love and never find it. So is love something that should be sought out for or do we let the universe open our eyes to it. Some may love eating pizza just as much as someone loving their significant other. Some love is love but rather a form of lust. True love can be hard to find and even harder when out looking for it. So what should we do when it comes to love?

Some may say hide it and conceal it because it is too strong for some. Some say to scream it from the mountain tops because love is stronger and can break down any barriers. I say do what you think love is. Show the person you love them in private. Scream "I love you" whenever you get the chance. Love is up to every person and how they want to show it. What we shouldn't do is shame others for loving someone that you might not agree on. Why are we getting in the way of people showing their love to who they want? We are not them, we can not tell them they can not love. We are only in charge of our own life and nobody else's.

People show love in different ways. Sometimes people have been so hurt that love is a sensitive topic and they don't want to be near it. Love has done some amazing things for some people and it has hurt others. We also need to be respectful l of those who have a hard time with love and show them our own other ways to let them know we are there for them.

All the different generations show love differently. There are five different love languages and there are different ways to show love. We should also not judge others on the ways they show love but respect them. No two people are the same, and never will be. So we will need to respect what others might say or do. We are able to show our own love and others the same.

We need to show bigger love in today's world.

Sometimes are so dark and hard but together we can show a light that is filled with love. We need to show others that despite what might be happening and what others might say, there is still love. We can show love. We can be in love. So take your hearts out into the world, show some love, and change the world for the better.

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.
