There are several different things that people may say to show that they care.

Whether it's a friend, significant other or family member we all have different ways of saying, "I love you."

Love can be expressed in many different words and actions, so pay attention to these things because someone might just be trying to show that they care.

1. What are your plans for the day?

Maybe they're checking so that they know what to worry about during the day. Maybe they have something they want to do with you if you're available.

Maybe they just care about you.

2. Stay warm

I'll be the first to admit I don't like wearing socks or slippers in the house, but I know my mom tells me to because she loves me and doesn't want me to be miserable.

3. Be careful!

Be careful because I care about you and don't want you to end up hurting yourself.

Sometimes, we have to learn things the hard way, but all those times someone told us to be careful are because they don't want us to have to.

4. Have a good day

Don't be negative when someone wishes you a good day! You may end up ruining their day along with your own.

5. Get home safely

Maybe they ask because they care about you and want to know if they need to form a search party to find you.

6. This reminded me of you

Someone taking the time out of their day to show you something, no matter how random, because it reminded them of you? Yeah, they care about you.

7. How was your day?

They're probably not asking for every detail of what you did, but they probably do care about what happened during the day and how it made you feel.

8. Do you want to try a bite?

Maybe it's because you've been staring at their food, maybe it's because they care enough to think that you might like what they're eating so they offer some to you.

9. I believe in you

Maybe they heard your pep talk in the bathroom, maybe they know that you're stressed about something. Either way, they care.

10. Go to sleep

You might have 20 things left on your to-do list, but they won't get done very effectively if you can barely stay awake to do them.

No amount of makeup can cover how tired you are, people can tell when you need sleep.

11. You can be yourself without judgment

You know someone truly cares and loves you when you can be yourself and not have to fear being judged by them.

12. It's about the smiles per gallon, not the miles

Whether you live miles away from a significant other, friend or family member it doesn't matter how far away you are... if they truly care the distance disappears.

(It still doesn't hurt to call them once and a while though!)

13. They don't care how miserable you are, they just want you to be better again

Even if it means they have to be miserable with you until you get better.

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.
