Dear beautiful,

You seem to be caught up in doing so much for other people that you tend to forget about helping yourself in the process. At our age, loving and being loved is a huge priority, but you can only handle so much from someone who doesn’t realize what they have with you. It’s time to move on and get what you really deserve. This is to the girls who give more than they take.

1. You deserve more than unanswered texts.

It’s not fair to you to sit around all day waiting for a response that you’re probably never going to get. Waiting on someone, only makes you put yourself last. Instead, they end up consuming your entire day with feelings of regret and worry when really you didn’t even cross their mind once.

2. You deserve more than someone that treats you like a second option.

The one you want the most usually ends up to be the one who doesn’t want you. It sounds harsh to put it that way, but it just seems like that’s just how it works out. You might not realize it now, but sometimes it’s for the better. It makes you face the fact that if someone isn’t going to put you first, then you shouldn’t do the same for them, either.

3. You deserve more than someone who mentally drains you.

Constantly being on edge about if he’s mad at you or whether he feels like talking to you or not can be extremely draining. I don’t know if it just me, but always having to worry about that would make me an emotional wreck that began to affect my school and family life.

4. You deserve more than loving someone who doesn’t love you back.

This is the biggest one of them all. You are a beautiful soul that somehow ended up with someone who doesn’t realize all that he has in front of him till you’re gone. And I know that’s upsetting that it had to come to that but he doesn’t deserve half of the things you do for him. You need someone who appreciates all that you do and who accepts the love you’re willing to give him.

I know, you’ve tried your hardest, and I know, it’s even harder to let go, but you can’t live your entire life being walked on by people who don’t know what’s right in front of them. You’ve been convinced somewhere along the way that you deserve so much less than you really do. So, from now on, choose yourself. Not the guy who “doesn’t” love you or the friend who’s always “busy.” You’ll be surprised just how much happier your life will be. You deserve someone who will give as much to you as you do to them.

Love,

The girl who believes in 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.
