When you're thinking of what could've gone wrong.

How.

How can one brush off

all of the memories,

all of the feelings,

all of the struggles,

into a dustpan and toss it out?

Did it hurt to pick up the pieces?

Was it hard to resist the urge of putting it all back together?

Were they painful to pick up?

They say love is a crazy thing.

But what makes it so crazy?

The way it makes you feel invincible

And way it makes you feel helpless?

Is it the euphoric sensation of free falling into what you call love?

Or the way it drives you insane because you’d do ANYTHING for it?

I bet it feels nice to finally feel like you are out of control,

Because if something goes wrong, at least it isn't your fault, right?

Love may be crazy, but it is also beautiful.

But what is the definition of beauty?

It’s open for interpretation, it is different for everyone.

Unfortunately, we did not meet eye to eye with this.

Beauty is not only seen, but felt.

Beauty is not only felt, but heard.

Beauty is not only heard, but touched.

Beauty is not only touched, it is priceless.

There is no definitive value to beauty,

And so, it is nearly impossible to indefinitely know how much it is worth fighting for.

But do not count the money wasted,

The future plans,

The tears shed,

The hours awake,

The nights out,

And the kisses given.

Pain is temporary.

Love is endless.

Do not expect yourself to get stronger,

Each time you put someone down harder,

Because in the end,

You will be the one running from the pain,

While you leave another in vain,

Saying you’re off to find better,

To do better,

To feel better.

But how will you have better

When it was "the best you've ever had"?

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.
