To The Girl Who Never Stopped Smiling
Katie Lynn Owen

I know it's hard sitting there, watching your world break into a hundred different pieces and there's nothing you can do about it. Trust me, I've been there a million times. You would imagine that feeling like this would cause you to look sad and gloomy, but you just continue on with a smile on your face. You refuse to be weak and want to be nothing less than strong. You face many issues alone, but would do anything to see someone else smile. You're the girl that would brighten some else's day, even if you can't brighten your own.

No matter what was crashing down in your life, you simply just put it aside. I know you wanted to give up over a million times. You've spent numerous nights crying yourself asleep and then woke up with a smile on your face the next morning as if nothing even happened. That right there takes MAJOR strength.

Because that's just who you are...the girl that never stopped smiling.

You're the girl who comes off to be so strong, but little does everyone know, you feel so weak at times. You know there are numerous people that would kill to see you fall and the last thing you want to do is give them the satisfaction. So you continue to smile. You smile just to keep the tears from falling and sleep just so you don't have to think about it.

You continue smiling for all the people that have ever doubted you. You smile because fully live by the phrase "you never know whose day you could change just by smiling."

She's hurt, mentally and emotionally. But everyday, she walks with a smile on her face because that's just who she is: the girl who never stopped smiling.

You're allowed to scream, you're allowed to cry, but don't ever give up.

" God is within her, she will not fall. God will help her at the break of day." Psalm 46:5.

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.
