For Those Who Have Inspired Me And Lifted Me Up When I Needed It Most, Thank You

We're dependent on others for many things; for help, for support, for things we need and things we want. But we never put importance on those who motivate us in other ways, and inspire us. We all appreciate those who have helped us when we need it, but we take the people who inspire us for granted.

Yes, we need food, water, the love of friends and family to be happy, but no one thinks about motivation or inspiration as something essential we need. But the thing is, without being inspired, we would have no reason to create. We would have nothing to look forward to doing or making, and there would be nothing in life we would be really passionate about. So the things that inspire us, be it literature, films, games, music or people in general, we ought to give them more credit for the ways they brighten our lives.

So for the things and the people who inspire me to use my create and express myself through my artwork, thank you. For helping me realize that could use my skills as an outlet, for convincing me that artwork and writing aren't a waste of time and could be something amazing. For bringing out the artistic side of me and giving me a different view on the world, on life, than what school does.

For the people who inspire me to to take on goals and dreams for the future, thank you. For those who reach such heights and do such wonderful things that they make me want to accomplish goals, too. For the people who motivate me to change both the world and my life for the better by seeing them do it themselves.

For those who inspire me to do my best every single day, thank you. For those who study relentlessly to keep us their grades and show me that if I really try, I could do well to. For those who encourage me to put my all into everything I do, because they never leave a task without doing it to the best of their activity.

For those who make me the best version of myself, thank you. For those who visibly try so hard to improve themselves and make me realize I shouldn't just accept my faults, I should fix them. For those who manage to make it through the impossible and show me that even the hardest task in my eyes is nothing compared to what I could be facing. For those who manage to be the best friends, mothers, daughters, students, teachers, lovers, learners and humans, and inspire me to be the best person I could be.

Thank 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.
