How You Treat People Is A Direct Reflection Of Your Character.

Sit down and let me tell you something you should've been taught a long time ago

How You Treat People Is A Direct Reflection Of Your Character.

As I'm writing this, I am irritated. I am irritated at the way people treat others, and I am more irritated at the fact it even has to be addressed, Listen, I get it. I know that there are people in this world that are going to drive you crazy. There are people in this world that you aren't going to like, and they aren't going to like you. But this gives you absolutely no right to treat people like they don't deserve respect. Just imagine what kind of world we would live in if girls didn't go out of their way to be catty, and kindness was more apparent than pettiness.

Listen up, you are not better than anyone. People have different interests and we are all raised differently. You may not agree with the way someone lives, but guess what? It's their life and not yours. If you disagree with it to a point where it seriously bothers you, then you really need to take a step back and realize what's important in life. Everyone's parents has a different style of parenting. Some people may have less manners than you, some may even have a lot more than you. Some people may believe in things that you don't believe in, but you need to understand that our differences is what makes life beautiful. God gave each and every one of us our own special unique characteristics that make us who we are. You have no right to talk down on anyone if God loves us all the same.

Like I said, there are going to be people in this world that you don't like. It's probably going to really get to you at some point in time too, but you know what the best thing to do is when you don't get along with someone? Ignore them. It's pretty simple. Let them live the life they want to live and let them do it happily, because odds are, they don't care what you think.

No one is going to change to be the person you want them to be and you have no right to try to mold anyone to your standards. You have no right to talk about someone without knowing their full circumstance. You have no right to exclude people for not being in the same group as you. Do you get what I'm saying here? If we all came to realize that everyone is different and grew to accept those differences, I bet this world would have a lot less animosity.

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.
