However, it’s not just money that Swift donates. She gives her time and effort to brighten the lives of sick fans.

6. She gave a concert to a six-year old fan battling Leukemia.


7. She also had lunch with a cancer-stricken fan and invited another fan battling cancer to the Academy Awards with her after he asked her to prom.

8. She even wrote a song entitled “Ronan” about a child dying of brain cancer and then donated the proceeds to fund cancer research.

She reaches out to fans and shows how much she appreciates their support and encourages them through social media.

9. For #Swiftmas2014, she sent fans personalized gifts and notes in the mail.

10. She also took the time to surprise a fan at her bridal shower.

.

12. She gave a girl $90 out of her purse in Central Park to get Chipotle for the fan’s birthday.

13. She frequently uses her Instagram or Tumblr to reach out to fans with advice or compliments.

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.

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.
