The Power Behind "I Love You"

All you need is love.

The Power Behind "I Love You"

I don't think many people understand the power behind these three words. Three very short words, eight letters to be exact, can change a person's life forever. These words can either make a person stronger or completely break them down. These words can define your life forever. It's up to you to believe them or leave them.

I believe that everyone experiences love in their lifetime. Whether it be true love or temporary love is up to the universe to decide. People need to stop being afraid of love. Love is a beautiful thing once you let it in your heart. Love makes you feel as though you are floating on a cloud without a worry in the world and nothing can bring you down from it. Love makes you ecstatic and gives butterflies in your tummy.

Yes, love can also be frightening. Love can be hurtful. Not everyone will love you back. Yet, what most people don't know is that it is okay. Not everyone will be in love with you. You may love one person beyond belief and they may hurt you. When this happens, most people don't know what to do next. Here is what you do. LOVE YOURSELF. You deserve all the love in the Earth and whoever doesn't give it back, doesn't deserve it.

"I love you" is not something that can be thrown around lightly. These words mean the world. These three words express one's true feelings for another person. These words mean that you are giving your heart away to one person and are really expecting them to hold it in good hands. Most of the time they do. If one person doesn't, someone else will.

Overall, love is a beautiful thing. I wish everyone in the world could feel it. Those who don't or those who don't accept love, are truly missing out. We are meant to love one another and to fall in love. Everyone needs to take a chance on love because it can be the best thing they have ever opened their heart to. Love can open doors to an array of emotions that someone never thought they could feel.

Take a chance on love. Tell someone you love them. Don't be afraid of this eight-letter phrase. Find the courage to say "I love you" and never look back. Watch how it can change your life. Yet, if after all that they don't say it back or never return the love you give away, move on and grow. Grow into a stronger and more beautiful person than you already are. Give out love but also never forget to love yourself first.

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.
