Never Lose Sight Of Who You Are

So when you are feeling as if you are broken into a million pieces remember, you are not broken, just wounded.

Never Lose Sight Of Who You Are
Macy Johnson

There comes a time in everyone's life where you go through a hard time or a tough situation and at the end of it all you feel absolutely defeated, broken. At a young age, every little girl dreams of finding her prince charming, the one that takes her away from all of her problems or at least someone to be there through them all to tell her everything is going to be okay. But what happens when that prince charming you've dreamt so long for comes along and actually becomes the problem? You become absolutely devastated. This man is charming, handsome, funny, someone your family completely adores, someone whose family you adore, and everything you could ever wish for and you just ask God why? Why must You let someone so wonderful come into my life just for You to take them out. As Peyton from One Tree Hill would say, "People always leave." You begin to wonder, well what did I do wrong? How could I have been better? What makes her so special? DO NOT DO THIS! I repeat, ABORT MISSION! You are perfect just the way you are and you are the person God intended for you to be! It does not do you any good to beat yourself to pieces comparing yourself to the next girl he's with even though I'm sure she's really great. I believe that some people can be meant for each other but timing is unfortunately not always on our side. Instead of doubting yourself or him, if you really love him, pray for him. Pray that all of his dreams come true, pray for his happiness, and most importantly, pray for him to find someone that completes him even if it isn't you. Tell me about hard?! Trust me, I know. This helps you grow as an individual and helps you become a better, stronger person. After all, being bitter is not attractive. So when you are feeling as if you are broken into a million pieces remember, you are not broken, just wounded. Broken means damaged without being able to repair as it was once before and losing all hope. Wounds always ALWAYS heal. Some may take longer than others but they always do. You deserve to be extraordinarily, and immensely happy. Never lose sight of your faith, hope, or who you are when hard times come along because how you handle those hard times determine who you are as a person.

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.
