To The One Who Wants To Give Up

"Just keep swimming."

This is meant for the person who is ready to throw in the towel. This is for the person who has tried and tried over and over, but still not getting results. This is for the person who feels like their whole world is falling apart and there is no solution or recovering. This is for the person who is just plain tired.

Don't do it, do not give up.

It is not worth it to let go of something you've been working so hard for. It is a guarantee that life is going to throw numerous curveballs your way, and yes, sometimes it happens to be one after the other. However, they are not meant to make you give up, but instead make you stronger; make you into the person you are meant to be. I strongly believe that throughout life, we are given the challenges that we are meant to face. I also believe that we are equipped with the right material to face these challenges. Some of these materials are people like our friends and family, the experiences we have already faced and the knowledge gained from it, and our beliefs and values. However, sometimes it is not enough.

I know the feeling of wanting to give up. Being the kind of person who always gives 110 percent in everything I do, I can never settle for less. I love with all my heart, learn with all my mind, strive for the best, and do everything and anything to help others have a better life. I know every single person desires for things in life, whether it be success in their career, finding love, trying to become financially stable, everyone's is different. And just like any journey in life, you have to work for what you want. That comes with bumps and bruises, it includes losing yourself and who you are many times, and sometimes you end up hitting rock bottom.

But no matter what, please, do not give up.

I can you promise you, life works out the way it is supposed to. It is just sometimes, life is really really hard. You just need to step back, take a breath, and shake it off. Because guess what? The world continues to spin, people will go on with their lives, and everything will live on with or without you. So do not fall behind, keep fighting the fight. One day, it will all be worth it.

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.
