You know those friends you have who aren’t really your friends but they are at the same time? They constantly annoy the stew out of you but you don’t want to de friend them because you’re in the same friend group or whatever it may be. We all have them. They drag you down, maybe without even realizing it. Well I’m here to tell you it’s time for you to decide whether they’re in or out.

With the new year quickly approaching, it’s time to decide if we are really here for them to be in our lives.

Guess what? It’s okay to kick them out of your life. It’s okay to say you’re done with how they’ve been treating you. It’s okay to choose your happiness! In this new year, do whatever brings you joy. This year is all about you and your successes and you can’t have someone weighing you down all the time. What’s not okay is you constantly not wanting to do something because one person is going.It’s not okay to take that happiness away from yourself just because you don’t want to be around someone.

It’s time to not let anyone or anything else be a factor in your life, it’s up to you and only you to control your decisions. You cannot let someone else control your happiness, you and you alone should be the only thing that matters. If not being friends with someone will make you happy, do it. Don’t worry about what others will think! The only persons opinion who matters is yours.

You are a fabulous human being and you’re going to do so many amazing things in your life. That being said, you can’t just let anyone into your life. Sometimes in order to become the best you possible, you have to be picky about who you allow close to you.

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.
