People pleaser: an obsequious, subservient person. In easier terms, a people pleaser is someone who does certain things just to keep everyone happy. I have always been a people pleaser, and I still am. Living a life of people pleasing is not easy, it’s actually quite difficult. We like to put everyone’s problems before our own and don’t know what it’s like to say “no”. Here is what it is like to live the life of a people pleaser:

You are CONSTANTLY catering to everyone's needs

Not wanting to go out, but you just can’t say no

When you try to say no but you end up saying yes anyways

You always feel the need to apologize for wanting to do your own thing

People always assume that you'll do something for them

Over planning your weekend when you know you don’t want to do any of it

When someone is talking way too much but you’re too polite to say anything

When you finally get tired of all the pleasing

But no matter how hard you try, you will always be a people pleaser

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.
