With today's current events that have arisen, many conflicts within our society, cold weather approaching, and the hardships we face dealing with work and/or school, it may seem impossible to remain sane and stress-free. We all go through periods of time in which we feel overwhelmed and exhausted with life, which can lead to increasing levels of depression and anxiety, and that's never good. However, I've discovered that with love and reliability on what we're passionate about, we can conquer these feelings of affliction.

Love is whatever makes you makes you feel full and content, and is what helps you make it through the day. It's always there for us to cheer us up on a rainy day, and no matter what goes wrong in life, it's always there to back you up. Without it, we feel empty. Whatever it is that we love, it's the thing that makes life exciting to live, and gives us fulfillment.

When most individuals think of love, they think of another person. This is the most powerful form of love, which generally consists of friends and family. However, this satisfaction and fulfillment we receive from love does not always have to be provided by just one single human being. Love can be radiated from almost anything; from a pretty day to sport. All forms of love are powerful, no matter where it comes from, and has the ability to shield us from days in which we are at our lowest.

Love is our fallback and biggest supporter; it's critical to find something that fills the heart. Whether it be yourself, food, your family, music, art, your best friend, clothes, technology, or anything else that helps you get through the day, appreciate its value more than anything and hold onto it for as long as you can.

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.
