You're addicted to those meetings, you swear they help you. They convinced you, a firm non-believer, that God came in and took the drugs away and saved your life. You push what you learn at the meetings on everyone you meet, and get mad when they don't utilize the irrelevant information in their lives. You live so much by these guidelines, how could they just not?

You're addicted to being loved. You search and search constantly to be welcomed and loved by everyone you meet. Any one that gives you the slightest attitude or is rude in any way sets you off into this panic that the world is crashing down around you.

You're addicted to spending money. You don't know what it's like to save a dime. Anytime you get into any sort of money, you blow it on useless things, then justify it by telling people you "needed them." Or even better, buying useless things for other people, so the justification then is that you were doing them a favor and being nice, when in reality we all know it was because you couldn't control your impulses and had to go shopping.

You're addicted to lying. Just to tie into all the other bad habits you've replaced the drugs with, you lie and lie and lie constantly. You lie to make people happy, and to make people think you are something you're not. You look to constantly please and as a result just make people hate you more and more.

With you it's either I believe everything you say, or nothing at all. Now, I believe nothing at all.

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.
