The small stuff counts

life is like a dozen cupcakes

The small stuff counts
quote Hd

I like to think life is like whatever you put into it, it's like baking a dozen cupcakes representing the 12 months in a year and each cupcake is a month. You want your life to be sweet dynamic and yet we still struggle but just a slice of happiness makes it worth while.

I like to believe I want to make a change in someone's life; from saying 'hi' to 'good morning' and to a smile because people don't understand something as simple as that could make someone's whole day. We constantly think big gestures count but reality is the little stuff is what truly counts. No riches or objects can beat happiness, it's the light in that dark tunnel of suffocation. making someone feel good makes my day to see their smile in their eyes.

People always say stop buying friendships/ don't be too nice but there's a difference between the push over nice and generally nice. Saying hello or have a good day to people to people whom you don't know might just make the difference believe it or not. Just having someone talk to you when you think you're the wallflower is literally a dream. Once in a while, I buy a cupcake not for myself but a friend who has been struggling or a person in my life who I want to thank or just even the person who looks so sad and alone. Making that small difference in the world to see their eyes light up is all it takes for me.

Many people say I care too much. How is wanting to make sure that people feel generally happy, wanted, and appreciated a bad thing? that confuses me. Most want to be famous but all I want is to make one person smile because I might have made a change in their day and inspire more people to be more caring of others. We don't take care of just ourselves, we help others in this world. Life is like a rich, chocolate fudge cupcake sweet and tart; so make the most out of your one shot.

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.
