I know you are going through a rough time right now, but please take a minute to read my words for you. For just a moment, tear down your walls and let my words soak into your bloodstream.

You've heard this a lot, I know, but you are beautiful, smart, and kind. You have a heart as wide and as deep as the ocean-- your eyes hold infinite universes. You have always been there when I have needed advice, and your compassion has touched my heart, despite the distance between us.

Your soul is made of fire, just like mine, and together, we can evaporate the water and light up the darkness that threatens to extinguish your flames. I cannot describe what you mean to me, and I just want you to know that I am always here for you, no matter what you need.

Cliche as it is, the saying "it's always darkest before the dawn" is true. Life is full of darkness, but the beauty of it is finding people and things that keep you in the dawn. Right now, you may feel like it is so dark that you will never be able to find the light, but you need to know that if you just reach out, you will be able to feel the things that will bring you back to the light.

Just by looking inside yourself, you will be reminded of the light and fire in your soul that you can brandish against the darkness.

Someday you will realize that I am right and that all of this pain you are feeling is temporary. When this cloak of darkness sheds from your body, you will find that your skin is impenetrable and that your soul is enlightened to the adversaries surrounding you. You will finally be able to be the woman you have always wanted to be, and I will stand by in awe of your accomplishments.

You may carry on with your life now, but remember that you are so adored by me and everything in this world. I wish, hope, and pray the best for you. I love 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.
