4. "Always believe you can change your life. Always believe that better things are coming, because your beliefs are predictions of your future." -Linda James

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.
