These are some pieces of advice I've gotten before I leave my teenage years behind and some are things that I've had to learn all on my own. There were times when I had to think back to these wise words and analyze the situation I was in again before I finally felt at peace. I hope that someone besides myself can benefit from having these words to look back on.


1. Becoming an adult is a scary thing

2. But that comes with life, so you gotta handle it the best you can

3. You lose friends that you considered to be as close as family

4. You can lose family members without them dying

5. Some change is good

6. You can lose someone you love dearly in the blink of an eye

7. Math is just something that you have to endure even if it's the worst subject on earth

8. You can only give so many second chances before it's not worth it anymore

9. Being a little kid is awesome

10. But you won't realize that until it's too late

11. People drift apart

12. Naps are important when you're a college student

13. The people who really care about you will stay in your life because they want to

14. Cars can be fixed, sometimes people can't

15. Guys can be clueless

16. But some can also be your best friends

17. My family will always be there to pick me up when I fall

18. My best friends are truly amazing individuals

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.

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.
