To The Girl Who Was Always Told She Was Too Friendly
Brittany Ngo

Don't let the others take you down. Whatever you do, be yourself and be happy. No one can ever be too friendly, too loving, too careful, too safe, too anything. No one can take that from you and don't let them. You're nice to your co-workers not because you're flirting but because you're friendly and kind. You're nice to the people who've turned their back on you not out of pity, but because you know it is not worth it being mean and petty. You are doing great just the way you are, and that in itself is amazing. It is going to suck from time to time. People will take advantage of you and they will try to tear you down, but you must stand tall and not let them sway you away from being too friendly. There is and will never be anything wrong with being friendly. For wanting to bring a smile to other people's faces and putting your own feelings aside for the sake of others.

But there are times when you feel that you're too friendly and too worried about other people besides yourself, and you need someone looking out for you also. And when you take a step back from that and realize you have no one, that is when you ultimately break down. And you know what you have to do. You wake up the next morning and try even harder for other people. Because inside you're thinking that maybe, just maybe, if you're nicer and even more friendly than the day before, then someone will care for you as equally as you care for other people.

You know who you are. You know you're that girl. And from a girl who is also told that she was too friendly it came off flirty, or too friendly that it was obnoxious and annoying, it gets better. Positivity and happiness are so much better to live through than being negative and sad.

To the girl who is too friendly: Be proud of who you are and what you aim to be. Be there for people and never think less of it. The right person will come along and make everything you did worth it. Don't let others crush your spirit. You are beautiful inside and out! So show them that being friendly is an amazing trait to have.

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.
