To The Boy That Helped Me Embrace The Idea Of Love

Always love yourself first.

I think that we all grow up and have different ideas on love, what it entails and how it's supposed to function. Some have the whole love doesn't exist, boys/girls suck, and you are never going to find your true love. While there is another perspective, something like I'll have my happily ever after, everything would be like a fairy tale, and it would all come at my time. Finally, there is the type of person that goes through the realm of both, you believe, then you don't, then you believe again, and for me, that would be the normal thing.

I try to not be cynical when it comes to love, I know I would be lying if I said I don't believe that someday I'll get my one true love, but I also know what I came to understand with time, that in order to find love, you have to go through different phases and learn to be the person you want to be.

Some people get heartbroken and shut themselves from love, they tell themselves they are done and that they do not believe in anything related to happily ever after anymore. But I want to tell you all a story, I'm the type of person that opens their heart to everyone, I want everyone to be happy and that makes me happy. Knowing that I can make people happy, makes me want to do it and makes me who I am.

There comes a point in your life where you experience a heartbreaking moment, there are always people that take advantage of the good in you, and that happened to me, but instead of shutting myself up, I embraced it and made it my own. I want to tell that person, that everything that happened only made me stronger and helped me grow into the person I am today.

So I want to tell all the people out there, that all of those heartbreaks and let downs, are not your undoing and what makes you give up on love, but they should be the thing that makes you grow and makes you believe that the right person for you is still out there.

There is going to be a time when you actually find your one and that should be enough to keep you going and not let you give up. You are who you are because of those little moments, and you should not let a boy make you change your perspective on love, instead, you should embrace your beliefs and make them the best for you.

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.
