You are loved. You are appreciated. And you are wanted.

To The People Who Put Others Before Themselves

You're a special type of person. You are one exceptional human. You're able to put your needs and wants behind others. You're constantly there for everyone else. You're nothing but selfless. You're feeling sick and don't wanna get out of bed but a friend needs you? You'll be there. You've just had a bad day and need to be alone but a friend needs advice? You're there. No matter how big or small, you're continuously there for anyone.

There may be times where you feel like all your time and hard work, sacrifices, and selflessness go unnoticed. You're constantly doing things for others but do they always say thank you? Do they tell you they appreciate it? Do they return the favor? Often times even if they don't do those things, you don't hold a grudge. You don't mind. And you don't mind because that's the type of person you are. The type of person who will do anything for anyone else if it means they'll be happy in the end. All you want is for people to be happy. But your happiness matters too. You deserve the world. And more.

You deserve to receive the same amount of happiness that you put into the world. You deserve to feel loved. You deserve to feel appreciated. There's people out there who focus solely on themselves. They're the people who only care about their own happiness. So, if you aren't receiving the same amount of happiness, or love, or appreciation, you need to learn to do that for yourself. Make yourself happy. Do things that you enjoy to do. Hangout with friends. Spend time with family. Laugh. Have fun. Learn to love and appreciate yourself. Tell yourself that you're a deserving individual who deserves the world and more. You deserve the same amount of love from others that you give.

Because of people like you, others are full of hope. Others feel love. They feel appreciated, wanted, and happy. Even if you have nothing, you always give people something.

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.
