To the girl that is always giving second chances. You are always giving people the benefit of the doubt. You want to believe that they are this amazing person and that they would never do anything to discredit your opinion of them.

You see the best in people. You believe everyone has a kind heart even if they do not show it. Sometimes this get's you into trouble.

People prove you wrong. You realize they are taking advantage of your kindness. Reading this you already are thinking of that person who you gave more chances than they ever deserved. You gave them a chance after they did you wrong.

The second chance became the third, then the fourth. You have people ask you why you do it. Why do you put up with them?

And you start to wonder yourself. You start thinking to yourself that being so generous with chances is a bad thing. But I’m here to tell you it is not. You are constantly going out on a whim for people, only for them to disappoint you.

You start to think that maybe it is you. Maybe you have too high of expectations. Maybe you did not know someone as well as you thought you did. But it is not you.

Do not let anyone tell you that your kindness is your weakness.

Your kindness does not make you weak. Your kindness does not make you a pushover. Because it’s a strength. Your kindness makes you open to the world. Your kindness makes you genuine. Many people don’t see that but one of these days it is going change your life, so be ready.

You will start to see that the people you give one too many chances to become fewer as the days go. The ones that are in your life for the long haul will not need second and third chances.

They will not take advantage of your kindness. They will see your kindness for the strength it is and they will respect you for it.

So do not get down or discouraged when people prove you wrong. Do not let others tell you to stop giving chances. Do not ever stop giving chances.

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.
