We all know that one that one girl that we are too nervous to engage with. She walks down the hallway with fire in her soul and the ambition in her eyes. Do not be intimidated by her, she just does not have time to waste. She might be a lonely girl but she is okay with that. She does not know how to tell you but all she really needs in life is faith and perseverance. She is full of desires to travel and make the occasional friendship of a lifetime, along with many memories. She is brave, loud, very opinionated, and can be stubborn as hell. If you aren't ready to handle that then you probably are not the friend for her. However, If you decide to and get the chance to be her friend grab on and hold on. Do not let go. Get ready for an adventure because that is all your life will be with her in it. A true friend of hers can go countless days without contact. When they meet again it's as if they were never separated from each other to begin with. She loves to have long in depth conversations with you to help the both of you understand life in the best way possible and help with whatever you are going through. What she will not tell you is what you want to hear but what you need to hear. This is only because she cares.You will never have to worry about sugar coated advice because such a thing does not exist to her. One thing you should never ask her is why she does not have a boyfriend or any significant other. She's independent. Most men try to tie her down because they know she is going places and will experience new things and they get scared. To her, being scared or nervous isn't an option. She views the world as one large intricate painting, and she has to study every crevice, corner, and crack of the world. She will love to do spontaneous things like making random trips to random places. Just because she wanders does not mean she is lost. She loves making mistakes,embracing them, and learning from them. She is the one that will dance in the rain and sing like crazy when no one is watching. Just hold on to her and don't let go.

"Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of 'crackpot' than the stigma of conformity, and on issues that seem important to you stand up and be counted at any cost."- Chauncey Depew

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.
