You may be young but you aren’t naïve. You know exactly who you are and you know how to deal with life and the obstacles it throws at you.

To The Teen Who Is Wise Beyond His Years
Presly Phillips

Being a teen and being in high school can get rough. It can get to some people and it is a time when everything changes. Being in high school is being between wanting more freedom and being terrified because people expect you to know what you want to do for the rest of your life. It is so easy to get all caught up in the dramas and stresses of being in high school.

This is to the teen who is wise beyond his years. You haven’t had an easy time in high school and have had many hard times throughout your entire life. Throughout all your hardships, you always rise stronger. You have a lot to be angry and sad about, but you push through it every time. Life hasn’t always come easy to you which made you a fighter.

Although you are tough and strong, you also have the biggest heart. You are protective of your loved ones and strive to be a good person. You refuse to let people walk over you or the people you love. Standing up for yourself and other people is a strong suit of yours. You stand up for other people because you know what it is like to be hurt.

You may be young but you aren’t naïve. You know exactly who you are and you know how to deal with life and the obstacles it throws at you. You have goals and strive for them. The future is always in the back of your mind which makes you mindful of your actions. You hate that you make mistakes but you also learn from them. You have already built yourself up to the person you strive to be. You are always improving yourself and you have become strong-hearted.

You know life will always be hard, but you are prepared for what comes at you. The fight in you hasn’t gone away, instead it has become stronger with every obstacle you face. The hardships you have went through have proved that you can make it through just about anything.

The person you have become is something to be proud about. Nobody is perfect, so it is okay to make mistakes because it is what makes you who you are today. Your hardships don’t define you. You are wise and strong and you care a lot about people. You always strive to make people laugh even when they are down. If you can make someone’s day better, you will. If you can help somebody, you will. A strong and kind heart is the best kind of heart. It is a heart that has been through a lot but is stronger than ever.

I can’t say life will get easier after high school and I can’t say it won’t get harder. You have a strong enough heart to overcome anything. You are wise and smart which will be beneficial to you for whatever life throws at you. Never give up on your dreams and never lose who you are. I am very proud of you.

Happy birthday.

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.
