An Open Letter to Miss Independent: You Are Beautiful
Monica Bradley

This is a letter to the girl who has almost never needed someone there. You have always been the one who has been you're biggest support system. You have always been the one who picked up the pieces when everyone left. Girl, you were the only one who knew you're heart and everything it was. You may not have always had the independence you have now, however you did have that fire. There was always something there pushing you and driving you to be who you are. However, that always left you being the odd one out.

But I want to let you know that it is amazing.

Being independent has so much to offer. It gives you a sense of confidence that you have to your core. That confidence that no one can take away from you. Being independent also shows you how to be alone and to be happy about it. I mean when you get to a point where you enjoy being just you, oh man is it a sweet place to be in. Being independent also allows you to be who you were made to be, yourself. Now I'm not saying that being independent is the answer to all your problems, however it is the answer to many of them. I know for a fact that being independent myself has shown me how to pick myself up and how to love every bit of myself. I wish every single girl knew who they are, and found that on their own, because when you do, it's an irreplaceable feeling.

All I have to say is, find you and hold on to you. Because you are all you and that's beautiful!!

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.
