When you look at the world, what do you see? Do you see strangers embracing each other? Or do you see families sharing laughs? What about when you look around you, what do you see then?

We all go through those days, maybe weeks, where we feel absolutely alone. You can't help but look around and feel as if you have no one. You are surrounded by people who have so many people who care; why can't you have that? It just doesn't make sense. You're the one there for everyone else, but yet there is no one there for you.

All through your life everyone has always told you that they care, or how lucky you are to have so many people that care about you. But we all know there are days where you could be standing in a room of family and friends and feel absolutely alone. Don't worry, we've all been there and dealt with that at least once.

Sometimes there are certain things you need to hear, to help get through. Here are some things that helped me and that I hope help you.

You are not alone.

I know everything seems to be telling you and showing you that you are, but you're not. You might just have to open your eyes a little wider and look around.

Don't hide your emotions.

Everyone gets sad and needs help getting back on their feet sometimes, it's just a part of life. If you're having a bad day, show it! If you need to cry, then cry with pride! Never be ashamed of how you feel.

Unfortunately, most people aren't mind-readers.

Yes, in life we have some people that can read us better than their favorite books, but sometimes they have an off day. If something is wrong, tell someone. I promise there is someone out there who cares enough to listen.

Lastly, don't ever feel like you're crazy for feeling the way you do.

I guarantee everyone has felt how you feel right now at least once in their life. Talk to someone and listen to what they have to say. They probably have some pretty good advice.

It may suck right now, but I promise you it gets better, even when it seems impossible. You just have to hang in there and open your eyes a little wider.

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.
