Because music is there, when people are not...

Saved by the Music

These are just some of the songs that have helped me get through hard times & still do. At first, I was going to try and talk about how each song has inspired and affected me as a person, but there was no way I could put it into words, so instead, I made a list. Whether it's a song itself, a meaningful lyric or the overall message of a song, I hope anyone going through a tough time can breathe a little easier knowing that music is always something they can count on. If you're feeling alone and like no one understands trying putting in your earbuds and tune out the world, even if it's just for a little bit. If you're reading this, just know you're strong and you are capable of getting through even the worst of times. You are worth it.

These aren't in any specific order and as you can see the songs aren't by one specific artist and don't belong to a particular genre. Each one of these songs has had an effect on me for the better. Music has played a considerable part in helping me recover and has helped me become a more open-minded person! (Also, these songs are a matter of personal opinion)

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.
