All The Small Things

The little moments in life are what truly make life worth living.

All The Small Things
Abby Blaes

With how fast our world moves, sometimes I forget to appreciate the little things in life that make me so happy. Big events in life surely make a large impact on how happy I am. But it's the small things in life, the everyday, seemingly insignificant things that I take for granted. I believe it's these things these truly give my life more color and joy.

2. When you feel sunshine on your skin

3. When you get a really good night of sleep

4. That feeling of nostalgia you get watching movies from your childhood.

5. When you get fun mail from a friend or family member

6. Appreciating a good sunrise or sunset

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.

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.
