Everyone has days where they feel completely alone and like life is out to get them.

Since September 10th is National Suicide Prevention Day, I think that everyone should take a second to think about all of the things each and every one of us have to live for. When you're feeling hopeless, put your hand over your heart. Feel that beat? That's called purpose, so keep that heart beating.

Here are 15 (more) songs for when you're feeling like life is just too much and you just need a little help getting through the day:

1. "Everybody Hurts" by Avril Lavigne

Best Lyric: "Everybody hurts / Everybody screams / Everybody feels this way / And it's okay"

2.  "Stuck In The Middle" by Four Year Strong

Best Lyric: "So today I'm waking up to find that all I held inside wasn't worth it / I'm living out my broken dreams
/ I'm flying with a crippled wing"

3. "Around the World and Back" by State Champs

Best Lyric: "I'm not a hero or a saint / But don't push me away / When you believed in me it brought us together"

4. "Rock Bottom" by Neck Deep

Best Lyric: "Here I lay again, rock bottom / What was life? I've long forgotten / How the sun felt on my skin / Resurrect and start again"

5. "Untitled" by Knuckle Puck

Best Lyric: "Silhouettes on the ceiling / I've been much better but at least I'm healing / You know I haven't slept since you left but for me that's progress"

6. "Sixteen" by Real Friends

Best Lyric: "I find it kind of weird how you find yourself / When you have no one"

7. "Clairvoyant" by The Story So Far

Best Lyric: "Don't paint me black when I used to be golden"

8. "I Don't Like Who I Was Then" by The Wonder Years

Best Lyric: "I think I'm growing into someone you could trust / I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks / I want to run til my lungs give up"

9. "Pull Myself Together (Don't Hate Me)" by The Rocket Summer

Best Lyric: "And I'm not a perfect soul and I'll fall again I know, but oh... / I must pull myself together / This is a brand new day / Pull myself away from my mistakes"

10. "Still Breathing" by Mayday Parade

Best Lyric: "I'm standing here alone / Trying to make this life my own / And nothing will keep this heart from beating / I'm still breathing"

11. "(Un)Lost" by The Maine

"And you are not allowed to be anybody else / Control what you can / Confront what you can't / And always remember how lucky you are to have yourself"

12. "Here I Am Alive" by Yellowcard

Best Lyrics: "I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground / But here I am alive"

13. "Night Feelings" by Man Overboard

Best Lyric: "Once upon a time I was an innocent little kid / And I felt like I knew everything / Now everything's against me"

14. "Battle Scars" by Paradise Fears

Best Lyric: "No you're not alone / Keep marching on / This is worth fighting for / You know we've all got battle scars"

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.
