To The Person Who Gives More Than They Get

The saying "you get what you give" is actually a load of crap.

To The Person Who Gives More Than They Get

I see you. You’re the one who thinks of everyone. Whether it be seeing something at the store and buying it for someone you know just because you know they’d love it or even something small like a good morning motivational text to your best friend. You’re the person who goes out of their way to make sure everyone else is happy. Though the worst part of it is that majority of the time it doesn’t go both ways. But you, my God you have the biggest heart. The thing that you have to understand is that not everyone has the same heart as you. Not everyone can be as caring and thoughtful as you. You give with everything in you. It can obviously be exhausting, you give and give and give. You’re going to feel drained, and I hate to say it but sometimes there’s not going to be anyone there to pick up the pieces, except you. Take yourself on dates, get a new hairstyle, buy that thing that you always wanted but convinced yourself you can’t afford. Go to that place where you’ve always wanted to go but said you’ve never had the time. Love yourself, take the time to appreciate yourself because you are so amazing and you deserve it. Love yourself the way that you love others and maybe, just maybe, you’ll find someone who has a heart like yours. Never let that person go.

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.
