To the people who "care too much" about anything and everything, there isn't much you wouldn't do for others and I think that is something to be proud of. I know a handful of you and I know there are many out there in this world who have been told to stop being "so emotional" or to stop "caring so much", but I think you're great just the way you are.

To the people who "care too much" about people who have left them or never stayed to get to know them, I am proud of you. You may always care about them, but know that it's not your fault they missed out on an opportunity to get to know someone who is as great as you are.

To the people who "care too much" about academics, there is nothing wrong with wanting to succeed. I know some people may say that you're too focused or that you should lighten up and have some fun, but you are focusing on something that is going to better you for the future. Never let someone try to convince you that your hard work isn't worth something. Everything you are working on has a purpose and I'm proud of you for wanting to do great things.

To the people who "care too much" about music, play on. If you love music and it's your passion, don't let others tell you it's a waste of time. If music allows you to express why you are the way you are, or why you do certain things, keep showing the world through your compositions.

To the people who "care too much" about people who don't want them, it's going to be okay. If you think that no one will ever want you, know that someone will. It may or may not be soon, but know that you are not alone. You have friends and family who want you in their life and they are happy to have you around.

To the people who "care too much" about loved ones they've lost, you are allowed to be upset and grieve anyway you need to. You are a strong person who, just like everyone else, needs time to come to terms with this loss. You will make it through this.

To the people who "care too much", you are allowed to feel what you want to feel and never let anyone tell you different. They don't know how you react or respond to certain events or people in your life. If you feel strongly about something that someone else doesn't, that doesn't mean you're weird or too emotional. I know sometimes it may seem like caring so much can cause you heartache or problems, but keep caring because there are people out there who are grateful for your kind heart and your thoughtfulness.

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.
