It's kind of funny don't cha think,

I mean, you said you'd only have one drink.

You should have known that was a lie,

You just didn't want another lonely day to pass by.


I don't blame you for popping the lid,

It was only a game when you were just a kid.

But these days liquor feels like your only friend,

And it takes up all your time on the weekend.


Maybe it's just easier to pretend

That it will make you feel happy once again.

You know you don't want to do it

But if it defames the pain then screw it.


The sensation of guilt overwhelms your soul,

It's just imprisonment with no parole.

But we're all here for you,

For whatever you're going through.


You can keep her around for the lonely nights,

Or use her as confidence in the pointless bar fights.

She'll steal from you and leave you sick,

And when you're already down she'll give you a little kick.


She'll take your reputation and throw it away,

But when you're sad and lonely she's ready to play.

I guess it's not your fault for missing it,

She really is just a manipulating bitch.


So, leave her at the bar to sulk and cry,

Turn your life around or at least give it a try.

He believes in you,

He's testing your strength,

Clearly, he wanted you to be on a different wavelength.


You're stronger than she is,

And all full of life,

Don't let this addiction dull your light.


If you stay in this position,

Would you still consider yourself limited edition?

Don't let her be your problem anymore,

Turn around and lock that selfish abusive door.

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.
