You are truly inspiring. You push your own limits and constantly work at making yourself better.

Sometimes, I wonder how you manage to handle everything that life has thrown at you. From your internal struggles to your relationship woes, I think that you are truly a saint. You have kept a smile on your face and kept your positive attitude no matter what, and I am inspired by your strength.

I know that it's not always easy for you. I know that sometimes you take your time and distance yourself because you don't want to bother anyone or because you think that you will be fine if you handle it alone... but that's not the case.

No matter what I will always be a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, someone you can vent too. You always have someone in your corner. No matter what. You're never as alone as you think you are.

You are truly inspiring.

You push your own limits and constantly work at making yourself better.

You changed my life and you might not even realize it.

You made me take my own health seriously. Physically and mentally.

You have taught me to let go of things that weren't good for me.

You have picked me up when I was at my lowest. I just hope that someday you will let me be that person for you, if I haven't started already.

You amaze me. Your life won't always be easy. It won't always be fair. Nothing will seem like it will be constant but that's what I am here for. I am your constant. I love you for everything you are. And I hope that I can help you find what you're looking for and be the person who helps you with everything you aren't.

You're a wonderful best friend. I hope someday I am able to give back half of what you have given me.

I love you

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.
