I hear you. Loud and clear

Is all you need to be told

You feel like screaming because you aren't being heard

You feel like sleeping because there's nothing better then silence

Even in your dreams you aren't heard

In your dreams you can't escape

They are filled with nightmares and you are running down a hallway

Down this hallway you cannot leave

For everywhere you turn everyone is breathing

They are breathing down your back

You say you don't feel good enough

You are met with words that make you feel worse

All you need to hear is you are good

You are good enough

But they aren't said

You feel like running

Running

Running

Down a path you shouldn't

But what should you do

You are surrounded

Surrounded

Surrounded

You scream hear me

Hear me

Hear me

But you aren't heard

Not being heard bring so much pain

Pain flows

Flows

Flows

Throughout life you need one thing

To be told

That you are good enough

To be told without screaming

Hear me

Hear me

Hear me

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.
