In life, there are many of those so-called "inevitables." We all know about them, and we all dread them, hate them, don't want to face them, etc. Well, the truth is, you will have to face those inevitables one day or another, whether you want to or not. Of these inevitables, we face a lot of them in the aspect of positives and negatives. For example, where there's life, there's death. Where there is love, there will be heartbreak. And where there are successes, there are bound to be failures.

Life and Death. Such beautiful, yet heartbreaking things we have to go through. Life is inevitable (obviously, since you're reading this) and it is such a beautiful time. I say this because, throughout life, we learn so many things, whether it'd be those 'useless' Algebra II formulas, the beauty of love, or even what it's like to play an instrument. But, sadly, where there is life there will be death. Many of us often view death as an awful or heartbreaking thing. While the heartbreak and anguish are there, we should learn to not look down on death, but instead, we should think of it as a positive time, like a time to remember all the memories you may have made with that person.

Love and heartbreak always seem to find their way together at the most unexpected times, and most of the time, we refuse to face the facts and realize that heartbreak is bound to happen whether we like it or not. Love can be a good thing and a bad thing, and I think most of us can attest to this. Love makes us feel good and it gives us the feeling of being important to someone. But it can also make us blind. It can make us blind to the warning signs of coming heartbreak, or even blind to whether or not it is a healthy relationship. That leads us to the heartbreak side of things. Heartbreak is always looked down upon. It hurts, it aches, it feels like it destroys your entire life. But, if you just take time to look at what happened, maybe you'll realize you're better off apart, or just friends, or maybe you just need to move on.

So, in reality, there are many inevitables you will encounter all throughout your life, whether it'd be heartbreak, love, life, or death. No matter what it may be, just keeping looking for the bright side of things, because I promise you there will always be a bright side and better outcome to things, even if you don't see it at the time.

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.
