There comes a point where you have had enough.The only thing you have left to do is break down. You see a full fled basket case of tears, with your makeup running black and long, down your face. The only thing you have left are arms holding you at your weakest. It is those moments you turn to someone you might not usually, and you just tell them everything and they are there for you.

That is rock bottom. It is when you have kept it together way too long. Sometimes you see it as weakness, but I see it as you have been strong for too long.

It is okay not to be okay sometimes. It is in your moments. You are at your worst, the people who matter come forward and save you from yourself.

Thank you for loving me at my worst.

I have a tough time accepting myself in those moments. I am not the person I usually am, but even then you accept me. Even then, you love me.

Thank you for reminding of who I am.

You do not let me at my worst, replace all the good I have done before that. You define me by the better moments, not the bad stuff.

Thank you for helping me to become better.

You have walked with me, helping me to learn. You have helped me to grow. You want better for me. Even if at first, that means not being at all okay. Sometimes before you can become better, you have to be worse.

Thank you for walking with me.

People choose to stay in our lives. I value that you’ve made that choice every day. Even if I stumbled a bit. When I am at my worst, I struggle to walk a straight line. It is a whole lot easier when we have friends who help guide us in the right direction.

Thank you for reminding me who I am.

For the moments you told me, I’m better than whatever it is that broke me.You do not define me by my mistakes. You forgive me always.

Thank you for picking me up.

You dusted me off and reminded me to try. You were there to tell me that today is a new day.

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.
