Everyone has stories, people want to hear stories and even create stories that people will remember. From time to time we are told you cant do something or are you sure you can achieve something like that? You're too much, why are you so negative? Can you please grow up? You dont get it do you? Maybe you have experience these types of comments said to you or said to other people. It makes you think about yourself and if you're doing enough. One thing that people always say is the bad things in life have to occur so that you grow from them and so that better things can come along. One line from the movie, Pursuit of Happyness ; dont let anybody tell you, you cant do something, not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it. You want something, go get it. PERIOD. Everyone goes through struggles and face hidden battles that we may know nothing about, but you can choose to fight or fly. Not saying that if you do one or the other you are this or that, but its up to you. Not for others to satisfy or please, but for YOU. So there were times where life seem pointless. There were no reasons to look to the bright side or think positive. And thought this is how its going to end. But you are not done yet. You have been through so much and just breathing sometimes is difficult, but just remember you have made it this far. Keep pressing on, and live the best version of yourself.  "Life will knock us down, but you can choose whether or not to stand back up." -JC

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.
