To The Women With High Standards

At the end of the day, it is essential that as life goes on you continue to become BETTER, instead of BITTER.

For the women with high standards, life for you will not be easy. You'll cry more, hurt more, and exhibit strength far greater than most you'll come across in your lifetime. You will face disappointments, miss out on some stereotypical experiences, and even lose some friends.

But despite these hardships, I urge you to never change yourself.

You are a gem in the ashes of society. Women like you are merely speckled across the population. You already hold yourself to a level of grace, goodness, and womanhood that most will spend there life hoping to attain. Though your life may get unnecessarily hard at times, know that you are a role model for the millions of little girls that are yet to grow up, and you are an example for the women who have strayed yet are determined to refinding the right path.

Whether you find your strength within your self, your friends, your family, or your God-- let that be your forever motivator. You are not meant to be like everyone else, you are special because you are capable. Capable of strength when others have cowered. Capable of hope when you feel most alone. Capable of love when you forgive those who have hurt you.

Though your journey may seem like one broken road after the next, you will conquer even that. Remember that sometimes, we win-- sometimes we learn. Each upset, hardship, and heartbreak can lead us to learn something more about our world-- and more about ourselves. Furthermore, you should find peace in knowing that often you are an example for others; a lesson they still need to learn.

Not everyone will deserve, not everyone will treat you the way that they should, not everyone will be kind, understanding or patient. But you must not let that effect your core. At the end of the day, it is essential that as life goes on you continue to become BETTER, instead of BITTER.

I believe in you, and I understand you, so keep moving forward with your head and standards high. The world needs you.

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.
