Some People Just Do Not Want To Be Saved.

I've realized that sometimes people don't want to be saved. Maybe it's because they're waiting, or maybe it's because they just don't have the power to let someone save them. They believe that they can pick themselves off their feet, or they see a hand... and they don't reach for it. I've met those people. I've seen it with my own eyes. It's taken me so long to realize... you cannot save someone who doesn't want to be saved. You can try... you can give your all... but it's up to them. It's their decision to take your hand, and it's their decision to be helped. It may be hard, but let go of that feeling like you never did enough. You tried. You are just enough... but it's up to them to see that. So, if they lose you, they lost someone who was always there. They lost someone who was willing to give everything. The only thing you lost... was someone who never saw you. So, for yourself, move on. Holding on to something can hurt more than letting go. You're not a bad person for walking away from something that never wanted you in the first place.

Sometimes, people in this world, push you away because they know you are the answer. So, don't feel like you weren't. They just chose the wrong answer.

Always be there, but know when to walk away. Always.

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.
