To the person who is so much more

We all have those people.

To the person who is so much more

When you're having the worst day of your life, and you don't think it can get any worse. You get a text message... maybe from someone who you haven't spoken to in a long time. That message, to you, may be your saving grace. You stop and think... "Wow, maybe things just aren't so bad." Be that person for someone.

When you walk into a room, and you don't recognize anyone. You sit down, and all you want to do is leave. Someone walks over to you... maybe just to say “Hello”. You begin the conversation, and you feel a sense of comfort. Be that person for someone.

When you're riding in the car, and the music is off... your mind is going a thousand miles per hour. Your phone rings, and it's someone who you love unconditionally. Their voice radiates through the phone, and you can hear they're genuinely happy to hear your voice too. Be that person for someone.

It could be as simple as an encounter. You know, something so simple, but means so much. You really didn't want to talk to anyone that day... so you went out by yourself. You see this person, and their smile. You talk for a little bit... and you walk away. You begin to feel better. That darkness, in your mind, begins to fade. Be that person for someone.

People are fighting a battle... even the ones you think have it all together.

Be that text text message, be that stranger, be that phone call, and be that encounter.

Everyone needs someone like you in their life.

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.
