This is for the perfectionist like me. The ones who feel like they can conquer the world and fix anything. The green thumb or a magic touch of everything:

It is okay for things to not turn out as planned.

As a perfectionist, you will think that nothing should ever go wrong and when it does every now and then, it blows up in your face. The kind of blow up that hits you out of nowhere and is atrocious. It leaves you distraught and confused.

You think of how you did everything right and yet you still ended up failing in some type of way. It bothers you to the core because you are superwoman/superman and nothing should ever go wrong, but it is okay.

Life could be compared to many things but the main comparison is: highs, lows, good, bads, storms, sunshines, and you could go on and on and on.

The thing is that's what makes life, life. No matter how hard you try, nothing is ever made to be perfect. No matter how many times you "perfect" and prep for a situation, things can go still go wrong. It will continue to blow up in your face because I mean come on, us perfectionists are stubborn, but continue on.

Continuing after a small set back can be tricky, but you keep building to make things better. Us perfectionists will probably always try to do things perfectly and do better but we have to understand that not everything is going to be perfect and if things mess up they just mess up and we continue to do our thing.

We can not blame ourselves for things that go wrong or happen when we have done everything we can. We can only do so much and that's all we can do. We are still good people.

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.
