To The Girl Who Doesn't Guard Her Heart

You feel it all, good and bad.

You're the girl who lays it out there, all your feelings and emotions.

The girl who can't play hard to get. The one who doesn't believe in holding back in matters of the heart.

You let your feelings and instincts guide you. You don't want to regret anything, so you experience everything. When it doesn't work out, you have a new lesson learned. At least, that's what you tell yourself to convince your heart to heal. That hopeless heart of yours hurts from time to time. While you've convinced yourself you're a stronger woman now and you can handle it, you still feel the sting of crushes and one-night-stands that haven't worked out how you wanted them to.

You wonder again and again, which one will be the one to try not to break your heart. To try to stare at the beauty of how all the broken pieces fit together and not be tempted to break it into a thousand more. To be in awe of the pieces you've glued and pasted back together, all on your own.

You worry all your friends, as you fall too fast, time after time. They warn you to be careful, not wanting to see you hurt. They know you get caught up in your feelings. They hear it when you talk about how amazing this one is, how he's different from the others. How he is "so nice". You turn into the girl who cried wolf, except you cry all alone.

You don't guard your heart; it's plain and simple. You don't want to rob yourself of any emotion, so you go through them all.

Even when all you feel is depressed or lonely, at least you're feeling something, right?

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.
