To The All-American Girl

You are not indecisive.

To The All-American Girl
Reader's Digest

You know exactly who you are. You are the girl whose friends remind you daily that you can't make up your mind, that you're indecisive and can't be taken seriously, in a joking way of course. They do not mean anything negative, but they do not understand you.

I am here to tell you, they are wrong. You are not full of nonsense. You are not indecisive. Between goals, talents, careers, taste in boys, fashion, friends, and everyday life...you are the girl full of dreams. You want to do or try to do everything. You look at the glass half full and chase after anything.

You're an All-American Girl.... And a good one at that.

The All-American Girl does it all -- she has no boundaries. She has no need for the same routine every day. She loves everyone with her whole heart, she tries her best at everything she does, and she is fearless. She is not afraid of failure and most certainly is not afraid to be herself. She creates her own destiny. She wants to dye her hair blonde one minute and black the next, be an astronaut, a scuba-diver, a helpless romantic, a free-bird, somewhere in the hall of fame, and maybe even write a novel one day.

She wants to do it all. And although that may seem impossible, it sounds like fun to her. She goes wherever the wind takes her. The wind is not a light breeze, but comes full force. She doesn't hesitate to dare to move, but many people misunderstand her for that.

They think that she is showing off or can't decide what she wants to do in life. The truth is, she does what makes her happy in the moment. She does what makes her a better person or teaches her important life lessons that many people will never learn. Because she follows her heart, she finds herself in the midst of everything.

So credit to ya, All-American Girl. The world would be a boring place without you. We all need you in our life. We need your confidence to take chances. We need your intuition to follow your gut. We need your open-minded personality. People are so scared to try everything. It's like when you have fifteen tables set up in your favorite grocery store full of samples of food, but you only keep going to the same table.

Don't settle. Explore instead. Be your own version of an all-american girl. Try everything! The all-american girl has realized that some things won't work out for her, she may not like her choices, and she may decide to turn back for something else, but she doesn't go down without a fight. She gives everything a chance because the world is big and full of opportunity and so many adventures are waiting.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

WP content

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.
