Appreciate The Little Things

When You're feeling down

think of all the beautiful things that life has to offer.

Picture the burnt orange sky as the sun rises

Imagine the birds signing and the warm breeze flowing through your hair.

The feeling of freshly washed sheets

Driving with the windows down

Screaming songs at the top of your lungs with your best friends

Looking deep into the eyes of the one you love

Falling asleep next to someone

and waking up to them still there.

Finding yourself falling in love.

A home cooked meal with your family

Vanilla bean candles scenting the house.

The chill of ocean water washing over your feet when you first step in.

Walking along the beach

Toes in the sand and sun beating down

The first sip of water after an exhausting workout.

Getting on an airplane for the very first time.

Riding a roller coaster with your hands in the air and eyes closed.

Hearing your favorite song on the radio

Your first kiss

A warm bubble bath after a long day

Hearing "I love you" from the right person.


Life is absolutely beautiful

Sometimes you just need to step back-

Look at the big picture,

And Appreciate the little things.

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.
