Stop telling me i'm to old for Halloween, because I AM NOT. I am not going to let people stop me from having fun. Why does everything have to have a age limit on it? When I was younger, people used to always tell me that you will never be too old for anything. But as you grow older people start telling you the opposite.

Who am I hurting if I go Trick or Treating? Why is it a problem if I take one piece of candy from your house, you're most likely going to have so much left over after Halloween that you are going to end up throwing it out anyways.

The stories I have heard about people slamming doors on teenagers or older people trying to Trick or Treat sickness me. The sad part is the candy is not always for the older person, what if it was for a sick kid and you slammed the door in that persons face.

Judging people for having fun, is a dumb form of judgment. No matter how old you are you should still put on a costume and live in the Halloween spirit. Just the act of a little kids seeing an older person in the Halloween spirit is going to make that child so much happier.

Sometimes you need to think before you tell someone that they are to old to do something. You can forever be a child at heart and you should not have shame in doing things that make you happy. I encourage everyone to go out and trick or treat this year without feeling embarrassed about your age.

After all age is just a number. A number should not determine something as simple as dressing up and getting candy. Please don't let your Halloween be ruined by judgmental people.

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.
