It is not just a word.

To Me, This Is What Love Is:

Everyone in the world hears about this word. However, there are so many meanings behind it. It can be difficult to describe, and it can be filled with mixed emotions. I want to be able to describe in my own words, thoughts and feelings about what this word means to me. And that special word, is called love.

Love is not just a word, it is an action. People to this day throw the word "love" around like it's a baseball. Someone can say that they love you, but will treat you like a punching bag in the next second. You can't just say it and show poor choices of action. That's how people get confused with love. It's easy to say words, but it's very important to treat that person right. Do you care for that person? Do you show affection? Do you try your best to put a smile on their face? If it's none of these, then this isn't love.

Love doesn't hurt. It shouldn't be filled with constant sadness. Love is suppose to be a powerful/magical feeling you get whenever you see someone. It should make you feel like you're on top of the world and that you're appreciated. There are also people who are just not worth your tears. However, love doesn't involve pain, it involves happiness.

Love takes patience. There are many people who are in love with the idea of love. People will try to force it to happen and in my opinion, it shouldn't work that way. I believe that God has a plan for everyone and He is busy writing everybody's love story. When it comes to relationships, it will happen when the time is right.

Love isn't just about relationships, but with family members and friendships too. Love develops in many shapes or forms. Love should involve with family and friends that you love being around with. Love makes the world a better place and it conquers all evil.

It's important to talk about the word "love" because it needs to be cherished more. It is the opposite of hate and no one should learn to hate. Love should be the most beautiful thing there is to offer in life. Yes, it is defined in many different ways but no matter how someone defines it, it should take your breath away.

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.
