Mental Health is so Important

We all have our problems. We all deal with them in our own way. Everyone is different with how they feel and act. And that's okay. But lets talk about mental health, okay? Mental health is so important.

Why, you may ask? Well, I'll tell you why!

Mental health affects how we think and feel, and even act. It includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Along with how we deal with stress, relate to others, and even making choices. Behavior, mood, and even your own thinking can be affected.

There are many different reasons as to why there are shifts in your mood, behavior, and thinking. Which include:

Genes or brain chemistry, which are biological factors

Life experiences (i.e. trauma or abuse)

Family history

No matter what it may be, we all deal with our own things. And it is up to us on how we deal with it and how we approach it.

School and work can also take a major toll on us as well. And it is okay to take a mental health day. Mental health should always come first.

Mental health will always be important. Sometimes you just have to take a step back from reality and think to yourself: "Am I happy? Am I okay mentally? Can I do this right now? Is it possible for me to do this right now?"

And guess what? It is okay if you need to go get help. You have to work on you, for you, and only you. Don't let anyone try and dictate your happiness and your life. This is your life and you have to live it to your full potential. You aren't weak by getting help. You're taking a step in the right direction by getting the help you need and deserve.

And for me personally, I think getting help is probably one of the most strongest things you can do.

Don't be afraid. Get the help you need. You matter. Everyone around you wants you to be happy. They all care about you. They really do. Keep reminding yourself of all the good in your life as well. There is always good.

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.
