Doubt, denial, confusion, self-loathing — these are all things I go through on a daily basis and all the things these songs directly speak to. Whether it be one line or the whole song, here are 11 songs that you didn't notice relate to anxiety.

1. "Tell Me You Love Me" - Demi Lovato

"Tell me you love me. I need someone on days like this, I do. On days like this..."

2. "Issues" by Julia Michaels

"Cause I got issues, but you got 'em too. So give 'em all to me and I'll give mine to you."

3. "Just Like You" - Louis Tomlinson

"I'm just like you even though my problems look nothing like yours do. Yeah, I get sad too, and when I'm down I need somebody to talk to."

4. "i can't breathe" - Bea Miller

"How can I live in the moment when my thoughts never feel like my own and...don't know how to admit that I'm broken. How can I be alright?"

5. "11:11" - Jordan Sparks

"I wish I was perfect enough for you. I wish I was flawless, just like you. I wish I was sane enough, but I'm just crazy."

6. "Please Don't Say You Love Me" - Gabrielle Aplin

"Heavy words are hard to take. Under pressure, precious things can break. And how we feel is hard to fake, so let's not give the game away."

7. "Scars to Your Beautiful" - Alessia Cara

"She just wants to be beautiful. She goes unnoticed, she knows no limits. She craves attention, she praises an image. She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor."

8. "Waving Through a Window" - from "Dear Evan Hansen"

"Give them no reason to stare. No slipping up if you slip away. So, I got nothing to share. No, I got nothing to say."

9. "When He Sees Me" - from "Waitress"

"What if when he sees me, what if he doesn't like it? What if he runs the other way and I can't hide from it? What happens then?"

10. "Belief" - Ben Fanhauser

"Is anybody listening to the song that I sing? Does anyone even know who I am?"

11. "Only Us" - from "Dear Evan Hansen"

"I never thought there'd be someone like you who would want me, so I give you ten thousand reasons to not let me go."

The last song especially speaks to me. It reminds me that while I have all these doubts, there is someone out there completely willing to look past them and who will love me for me.

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.
