Some Words to Live By

From me to you.

Some Words to Live By

1. Be genuine.

There's something rare about describing someone as genuine. It's refreshing when you meet someone who's authentic, who's honest, and who means what they say. People pick up on that. You should always strive to be as genuine as possible. It's the purest type of truth.

2. Always say thank you.

Never forget to say thank you. Those two words go a long way.

3. Tell the people close to you that you care about them.

Those things are important. Let the people you love know that you care and appreciate them. Do it more often than not.

4. Handle negative situations with grace.

You are in control of your actions. Despite the negativity around you, try and handle yourself in a respectable way.

5. Live in the moment.

It's easy to overthink. It's easy to fall into a cycle of looking too far into the future or past to enjoy the present. Don't let yourself get caught up because things are never going to be like they are in this exact moment in time.

6. Be kind and stay humble.

Kindness always wins. Be humble and stay grounded because at the end of the day, those who are down to earth never lose who they are, and if they do, they'll always find their way back.

7. Have confidence.

Because even on the worst days, you have the ability to turn things around.

8. Do what makes you happy.

At the end of the day, your happiness is what matters the most.

9. Know when it's time to move on.

Whether that be from a relationship or a friendship, know when someone becomes toxic, and know that it's okay to move on.

10. What's meant to be, will be.

Life has a funny way of working itself out. Trust that and let it be.

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.
