Life is messy. We constantly have things thrown at us that we don't think we can recover from. We have a bad day and tell ourselves that we can't get back up. We get yelled at in class, something goes wrong at work, a friend decides they don't want to continue the friendship anymore, or a lover tells you that they don't want you anymore.

These are just a few situations that people around the world are going through as we speak. Every single day, we face hardships. We have days where we feel like everything is going wrong, days that we don't even know what to do with ourselves anymore.

These situations can result in feeling lost. At the point where one feels lost, they don't know what to do with themselves. Multiple things go bad and suddenly, we start to question everything in our lives; even the good. We question our jobs, our majors, our schoolwork, our family life and our relationships. Nothing feels right anymore and we don't know what to do.

But, here's the thing about being lost. It is TEMPORARY.

The one thing that people don't understand is that it's normal to feel lost.

In life, we have to question things more than once because we want to make sure we're making the right choices. We have to go through hardships because they will make us stronger in the long run.

Feeling lost in life is crucial at least one or twice, or honestly however many times until we feel like we finally have it figured out.

DO NOT settle for a life that you don't believe is good enough for you.

It's okay to feel lost.

It's okay not to be okay.

I promise you, that no matter how you're feeling right now - you're going to find your way home.

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.
