Music inspired me to do so many things..

I refuse to let my thoughts control me. I hate how I overthink to the point of tears, or how I avoid the main topic of why I'm overthinking. I choose to let music speak for me half the time because it can honestly fit 99% of the time to any situation I may be in.

Music tends to speak when words fail for me, something many can relate to-but only some let it be apart of themselves. It describes feelings as well as emotions, and how one can connect with another is amazing. All of this just due to various sounds, beats, and melodies which turn into something meaningful, each genre able to effect a person in numerous ways.

I feel when I sing, I express not only myself- but my emotions. It's a creative outlet, just like writing itself is too. You can put so much passion and drive into a single song or even a single lyric.

Then again, you cannot let these words and melodies define who you are. You are the only one who can let yourself succeed, whether the lyrics guide you or you decide to use your own voice.

I've always been the girl who's outgoing. Many people would say I'm a person who wants to make the most of everything along with help everyone. Music is a creative way for me to create conversation, friendships, and even just ease any mood.

Music has gotten me over breakups, helped inspire me to continue doing great things, helped motivate me, to relax, and well, to even become a better version of myself. I've built up more confidence, along with being able to express myself through singing and learning about different rhythms, beats, and melodies.

Whether I wake up with an upbeat and happy song, or end up dancing my way into getting ready, music has always been a great outlet and I wouldn't change it for the world.

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.
