To The One Who Is Trying

Sometimes in life we feel like we try so hard in life, but it’s just not good enough. You doubt yourself every single day. I know you’re giving it your all. I know that you’re trying to make a difference in the world, and not waste your life. I want you to know that your efforts are good enough.

I know you’re trying to do right by everyone else rather than doing what makes you happy. I know you’re trying to get it right, to live happily and wisely. I just want you to know that you’re doing a great job and I am very proud of you. But please know this and always remember: you have so much time. Don’t listen to anyone who says you have to have everything together now. You have your whole life to figure everything out.

Stop living by everyone else’s standards. It’s okay to break down and cry every once in a while. It’s okay to not be okay. Always remember that self-care is more important than pretending you’re okay.

You’re going to do great things, darling. I just know it. Celebrate your accomplishments and victories. Take note of all the good. Learn from your mistakes and apply what you’ve learned to your life. Keep track of your progress, because you are making excellent progress! The world will keep spinning when you stop to take a breather, I promise!

In the end, if you work hard enough, it will all work out in your favor. You will get everything you needed, just believe it. If you believe, you will achieve. I’m rooting for you always.

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.
