To The Person That's Not Ok

You aren't ok, but you can be

You've said you'll be ok… but you won't be.You won't be ok because you're not admitting what the true problem is. You know who you are because you have an unexplainable pit in your stomach as you read all of this. You know you're loved, but you can't see the love others have because of your sickness.

The last time you were confronted, you decided the problem was everyone gaining up on you. You couldn't hear the rationality, you could only hear the ridicule. They tried only speaking with concern, and deep down you know that, but you can't admit that's what it was. The last time they tried speaking was not the first, and I'm sure it won't be the last, but this circle is destroying them.

It runs in the family. From grandparents to actual parents. There is no shame in admitting you have what they have. Please don't think that way, because what if someone else inherits your sickness? What if they refuse to get help for the same thing?

You hurt your family by not getting help. Everyone will slowly become resentful to the point that they can barely speak to you. When they see you they are walking on eggshells because they don't want to set you off. They only speak to you when they desperately need to or in hopes of getting through to you. It's not supposed to be like that. The example being set in the household is not a proper one, and it's severely damaging the ability for anyone to form new relationships.

You always say that families on T.v aren't real, but why is the family you have so different from all of your friends. Why can some inappropriate topics be brought to your attention, while others must stay in the shadows? This behavior is not normal, and it's causing damage to those around you.

Isn't it tiring to feel like you're in a soap opera? The endless drama that causes stress, that frankly you and anyone around you can't handle. You're family...they look drained, tired, and detached. The stress can be seen on everyone's face, including yours.

Please get help. It will be hard, but it will help build a more stable environment. This time do not do it because you're falling apart. Don't do it because you think you have no support. Do it because you live in a home where everyone loves you, but no one can handle your behavior anymore. Do it because they never want to stop loving you, even though you make it so hard.

Your family truly does love you, even I can see that. So don't be afraid to reach out because once you do they'll all be there for you.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
