Fingerprints are an "impression made on the surface of somebody’s fingertip, especially used for identifying individuals from the unique pattern of whorls and lines." Everybody in the world has different fingerprints and no two are the same. Just like fingerprints, each person in this world has a different answer to what brings meaning to his or her life. However, we all have a fingerprint and we all have something to be passionate about, even if they are different.The thought of loving others, loving yourself, as well as being loved, in return brings meaning and happiness to my life. The love that people have for one another amazes me. The love between a family, mother and her child, siblings, friends, or even your soul mate is a relationship filled with passion. A mother has so much love for her child that she would do anything in her power to keep her child safe, even if it means putting her own life at risk. Friends who love each other would go to the ends of the earth to see that person happy. Somebody who loves themselves accepts their flaws and doesn’t depend on anybody else for their happiness. The love between two soul mates is such a beautiful thing; it is like two magnets being pulled together. They are consumed with so much love for each other that they want to spend the rest of their lives with that person “for better or for worse, through sickness and through health.” Everybody has flaws and imperfections, nobody is perfect, but somebody falls in love with that person and loves all of their flaws and imperfections. When somebody’s happiness is your happiness, that is love. Showing love towards others, being loved in return, and loving myself for who I am gives my life meaning.

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.
