To The Person Who Isn't Accepted By Family Members

"Do you, boo boo. Be happy."

"Blood is thicker than water."

Some people may have a lot of blood but less water. Some people may have a lot of water but less blood. Or maybe even both, equally.

The word "family" itself is about having a strong bond with your parents, siblings, grandparents and others. They are known to be related by blood.

Yes, there is blood relation but... what if there isn't any bond with some of them?

What if there's a family member that talks about you in a super negative way and wants nothing to do with you?

They don't invite you to celebrations, take pictures with you, call you to see how you're doing or even wish you a happy birthday.

And no matter how hard you try, they will NOT accept you.

But you know what. That's their problem and that's their loss. If they want you in their life, they'll put you there. You shouldn't have to fight for a spot.

God sees everything and knows what is right and wrong. He has a better way of fixing things than you probably do.

Family is determined more by behavior than blood. It's about who is willing to hold your hand when you need it the most and the amount of love that is given. We cannot forget that actions speak louder than words.

There are people in this universe that will accept you for who you are. Even if they are not family, but by water such as friends, teachers and others. If someone doesn't approve you, then move along. Because someday, they will wish that they weren't so hard on you.

It hurts to know that some family members will disapprove others because they are just like any other person. It's okay to cry and tears will only make you stronger.

To the person who isn't accepted by family members, focus on what you want to do in life and strive forward. Create goals for yourself and do something big in the world because everything will be fine in the end. You don't need to be accepted by others. You just need to accept yourself.

" Do good, and good will come to 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.

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.
