Removing Negative People Makes Life Positive

Removing Negative People Makes Life Positive

Negative people will convince you that they are positive. They disguise themselves in beautiful masks to cover up the ugliness that they truly are. They will isolate you from everyone else in your life to make it seem like they are the only one there for you and that you need them.

But that is all wrong.

They turn you against the world to make the other planets look more beautiful.

You can't survive on other planets.

That's the thing about negative people. They know how to manipulate people. They will get angry when you disagree with them and then threaten to commit suicide because they know that you could never risk losing them. They have a way to win every argument you will have. Negative people will make you feel as tiny as possible, but still whole because you still have them. They will attach to you like a leech and slowly drain you of energy, time and happiness.

Negative people will close walls around you and yell at you for complaining about not being able to see out the window. Behind the beautiful homes they build for you in their hearts, you will not realize that the doors look exactly the same as a prison cell. They will grow gardens in your body, and although the roses in your lungs are beautiful, the thorns are tearing holes in you and you cannot breathe. You are not just their prisoner, but you will become the prisoner of your own mind.

They raise themselves higher than the rest of us by having other people as the ruins underneath their feet to stand upon.

But you are not rubble. You are beautiful architecture that has just been buried underneath the surface. In time, you will be rediscovered by someone and the world will rejoice and be glad you are above the surface. Your lungs will be cleansed of all the dirt that you were breathing in.

You will be cherished for your beauty and importance in this world. People will want to learn more about you and be close to you. The places that you thought were just empty hallways, are elegant ballrooms for positive memories and people to dance.

Sunsets will be more beautiful sitting on a the side of a hill with your best friends than from the small hole you dug yourself in the cement walls that used to contain you.

The sweet words that were whispered to you in the dark will leave a bitter taste in your mouth when you begin to realize that they had been told as a lie.

The shackles have been removed. The weight on your shoulders has been lifted off of you. You are free from captivity. The holes that were torn inside you have been filled in.

Take a deep breath in. The air is pure. Your world is no longer toxic.

You will be okay.

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.
