Fall in love with the person you cannot stop talking to. That someone who keeps you up past your bed time because all you want to do is get to know every little think about them, from their family to their hobbies to their past.

Fall in love with the person who gets lost in your eyes because your beauty is mesmerizing. Because you are the definition of perfect to them in a world that is so imperfect.

Fall in love with the person who you feel like you've known your whole life, but wish you would have met sooner. The person who keeps you smiling from ear to ear.

Fall in love with the person who refuses to say goodbye to you because it will be days until you see them again. The person who's "hello" kisses, "goodbye" kisses and every kiss in between electrify your body.

Fall in love with the person who wants to know every nook and cranny about you. The person who sees every scar, every insecurity, every hardship, that makes you independent, loving, unique, but most importantly, beautiful.

Fall in love with the person who will drive all the way to your house to make sure you're okay even when you say you're okay, as you smile through the pain to remain positive.

Fall in love with the person who is loyal to you. The person who is not only true to you, but true to themselves.

Fall in love with the person who falls in love with your family. The person who brings your mom flowers and shakes you dad's hand with assertiveness--assertive that they are the one and only person for you.

Fall in love with the person who loves when you snort as you laugh. Because in their eyes, they think you are absolutely beautiful, no matter what.

Fall in love with the person who isn't afraid of commitment. The person who will bend over backwards for you.

Fall in love with the person who knows you like a book. The person who can name your favorite foods and top 5 songs because they're invested in learning every aspect of you.

Fall in love with the person who won't go to bed until you text them saying you got home safely, because you are their world.

Fall in love with the person who will love you at your worse--makeup running from the hot tears streaming down your face.

Fall in love with the person who looks at you with a deep, undying passion. The person who believes they are the luckiest person on Earth because they have you.

Fall in love with the person who you'll fight with and make up with because you can't stay mad at each other.

Fall in love with the person who respects you, cherishes you, and loves you for you. Because you are one-of-a-kind and deserved to be treated that way.

Fall in love with the person who protects you from the evil in this world. The person who will wrap their arms around you, and you feel their warmth.

Fall in love with the person who will sing and dance with you to your weird music obsessions because you are different in their eyes. A different they couldn't bear to lose.

Fall in love with the person who you never want to lose. The person who's your rock.

Fall in love with the person who will not only be your spouse but your best friend, your partner in crime...

Your better half.

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.
