You Are Stronger Than You Could Ever Imagine.

We all have days where we feel weak and doubt ourselves. The world seems like a cold, lonely place, and we seem to be drowning in a pool of despair. We’ve all been there sometimes, and we will continue to have these days as long as we’re on this earth. There will be bad days where you feel so broken you won’t have the will to go on, but there will also be so many more beautiful days where nothing but positivity flows through your veins and suddenly, everything will be worth it.

All this pain will make sense someday. That, I can promise you. Because guess what? Nothing is permanent, and that includes sadness. Everything is temporary. You are stronger than you could ever imagine. Dig deep within yourself and discover that inner strength that has been there all along.

Do me a favor. Think back to the worst day of your life... Now smile because you survived it. It’s all but a memory now.

You’ve survived 100 percent of your bad days so far. You’ve made it. You’re still here. All those times that you wanted to give up... They’re over. You’ve been broken, battered, bruised, torn apart more times than you could count and somehow, you’re still here. All those terrible days that you had are nothing more than just a memory. Life got better. You got better. If that does not show you how strong you are, I don’t know what will.

You are so unbelievably strong, and always will be. Whenever you doubt yourself, I hope you go back to this article, and it inspires you to keep going. Because I may not know you personally, but I sincerely mean every word. We all have stories, and we are all survivors in our own way. We are all brave. Never forget how much you’ve overcome, and never, ever underestimate your strength. You’ve proved your strength time and time again.

Keep going, and fight like the goddamn warrior you are.

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.
