Listen up, ladies. If there was ever a time that us ladies needed to stick together — it is now. And we need to more than ever. I for one have not always been a girls girl myself.

I went throughout high school like most teenage girls did — catty and ready to gossip whenever. As I have grown older I have come to fruition with how this world works.

Women are constantly juxtaposing themselves with other women which we know only weakens our #girlgang.

The thing is, if us women are not empowering each other and supporting one another, we are not living to our full potential as women. The electric energy we give off as females is so intense and fulfilling; when linked together with other electric women we become dominant in various aspects.

First things first — let’s stop tearing each other apart. What do we actually gain from that?

Because we sure as hell don’t gain true happiness when we engage in putting other females down.

Let’s look at it this way: we are all teammates on the same team, working through the same challenges and obstacles as each other. Why not work together towards the same goal? Why make things harder than they have to be?

Every girl knows the hardships of a female, so why wouldn’t we want to help one another out? It only makes sense that we would do so. We all know the feeling of being hurt by another girl, and we know it’s not a good one.

Let’s not lose sight of that feeling and instead use it to build up other females who need it.

Another aspect to look at is the boys.

We need to stop putting the men in our lives before our true sisters. It sounds obvious and oversaid, but it still holds true.

I see girls time and time again replace their solid girlfriends with their new boy and more than not, are left in the end without either.

Of course, that isn’t always the narrative, but I am sure whoever is reading this right now can relate to that time they lost their bestie to the boy -- not a good look, babe.

My friends and I pride ourselves on being girl’s girls as we would do anything for another female in a heartbeat. Why? Because we are wholeheartedly here for the girls.

They say “empowered women empower women” and that is without a doubt a true statement. Us ladies need to come together and let our girl gangs grow stronger and mighty.

It’s time that all of us females become true “girl’s girls” and genuinely support one another. Let’s do the damn thing.

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.
