I just want to protect my loved ones from the negativity.

If I Could Protect Everyone From 'The Bad,' I Would

I want everything to be perfect. I want everyone to not deal with all the negativity in life but I know that will never happen. We face obstacles in life to make us stronger or better people.

However, I can't explain everything that happens in the world or protects everyone from everything. I can't protect you from all the bad in the world but I can protect you from some things. To say I am overprotective is a spot on comment, I look out for my friends and I want the best for them but I am not controlling. I want my friends to have a good life and I am afraid that I will lose them. I have witnessed my friends have their heart broken, battle sadness and just not be themselves. I have made my mistakes and I don't want my loved ones to make those mistakes too, that's why I try to be dependable but I am also quick to admit that I cannot save you from all the bad in the world.

Throughout my life, there has always been someone there to look out for me but I knew that one day I would begin looking out for others. Some of the times have been good and sometimes have been bad but that's just life. The good and bad. There are also times I wish I did not even bother to try and protect someone. I give way too many chances and I think that is my downfall, that I am too trusting and will give someone way too many chances. I want to protect everyone from all the bad but I guess it is seen differently. So why do I want to protect people? So I can save them from all the Heartbreakers and people who have done others dirty. To rid them out of the fuck boys, negativity and people who don't deserve you in your life.

It's hard to get through to people sometimes. People do not want to believe other opinions but I know how to spot these people because I was one of them. I wanted to ditch the lovable nice guy and become the guy everyone wanted and despised but I realized it was not me. I tried to hit on girls and tried to do stuff that wasn't me and I realized what I was doing was not me. I'm not going to ghost you, stand you up on a date or try and make you cry. Even when I have done these I reminded myself that I did not want to be this way. That's why I protect my friends. I don't want them to make the mistakes I made or do something that they will regret. They say if you really care about people show them and that's what I try to do. I want to protect you from all the bad decisions but I know it might not always happen.

What doesn't kill us makes me stronger, It's not about how hard you hit it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, and You'll have bad times, but it'll always wake you up to the good stuff you weren't paying attention to are all quotes I think about throughout my life. I know things will seem tough but I just wish it could all stop or go away. There are people here to protect you and whether you know or not they want to help you.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
