Love. The word that makes people feel everything good and terrifying at the same time. To love someone or something means to put your heart on the line. It means a wall is broken down, and its vulnerable to disappointment and hurt.

The thing is people spend so much time being terrified of feeling what they feel, they don't realize how much they're missing out on. When you wake up everyday feeling in love, with life, with a certain someone, with the waffles that are waiting for you downstairs it is one of the greatest feelings in the world.

Love is a part of human nature, it's an inevitable emotion that stems from somewhere deep in your subconscious. It's not purposeful if people could choose, life might be a little easier but not even close to as meaningful and exciting. Love does not by any means have to come from another person.

It's an absolutely beautiful thing to be able to hold someone so close to your heart, but love can come from a lot of things in a lot of different forms.


I love...

Genuinely kind people. My favorite type of people are the ones that are nice just for the sake of being nice, they don't need any sort of recognition to do good things. If they do charity work, they do it because they care, not for bragging rights. They are nice to everyone, not because they want to be considered a nice person, they just are because it's the best thing to do.

I love...

Making someone I care about laugh. You know there's a study that shows most people look at the person they care about most when something funny happens to see what their reaction is. I don't know about you, but making someone laugh is the best thing in the world, and you have to be lying if you don't think being called funny is hands down the best compliment.

I love...

Love. Just in general. I love the fact that other people have something or someone they love with their whole hearts. To be passionate is one of the greatest emotions life has to offer. The idea that there are aspects of people's lives that make them want to be driven is one of the most wonderful things to me.

I love...

People that take you out of your comfort zone. I believe life should be filled with different types of people with different types of ideas. To find those refreshing people that allow you to experience new things that you probably never would have thought of had you not met them.

I love...

Fuzzy blankets, when it's absolutely freezing. It is physically impossible to not feel safe and happy when your wrapped up in a blanket burrito with the fuzziest of blankets all around you.

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.
