Hey...

I just wanted to stop by and remind you:

Sometimes, those days happen.

Those days were the negative thoughts come, you feel stuck, you just don't want to continue anymore.

Sometimes, these emotions control your mind, and makes you feel like God made a hiccup in your creation.

Those days where you just plain DON'T UNDERSTAND.

Please, remember, it's OK to not be OK.

For the days you feel worthless and unneeded. Where you feel everyone's life would be better off if you never existed,

It's OK to not be OK.

For the days your chest burns because you feel inadequate. For the days you feel nothing but failure and given up hope,

It's OK to not be OK.

Read this when you feel those things. Where everyone in life is moving forward and you feel you are too stupid on where to take the first step forward.

You are strong. You are admirable.

Modest.

Loving.

Giving.

Beautiful.

When you feel like you had hit rock bottom...

Where you feel like you have no one with you...

You are not alone.

It's OK to CRY, it's OK to be STRESSED, it's OK to FAIL, it's OK to make MISTAKES.

It's OK to not be OK.

Thus far, you have overcame so much.

Please keep going.

When ever the thoughts start, whenever you can't anymore and people doubt who you are and your intelligence,

Please, don't stop.

Your fire in your heart is bigger than you think. Your mind can conquer mountains,

and the world is not ready for you, trailblazer.

You may be bent, but you ARE NOT BROKEN.

More mountains are coming that you are going to have to face; more rivers will flood your journey.

But:

IT'S OK.

No matter how off your world maybe, you are doing amazing.

You are doing amazing being you.

Keep holding on, no matter what.

No matter what...

It's OK to not be OK.

Until next time,

--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.
