Just Because You Don't Know Where Your Heart Will Lead You Doesn't Mean You Shouldn't Trust It

There will be so many crossroads you'll come to in your life and no matter how many people you talk it out with or how many times you try to make sense of the decisions you have to make, it'll always come down to one thing: following your heart.

Follow your heart because you'll always wonder what would have been if you didn't. You may not know where any decision will take you, but if you choose to do what your heart feels is right, you'll always know that you make the decision you were most passionate about. You'll always know that you threw yourself in the direction your heart was telling you to, and you'll never leave a situation wondering what if. Those who go against what's inside their heart and what they feel is right for them ultimately end up having regrets and wondering what could have been for the rest of their lives.

Follow your heart because it knows you better than anyone else. You can talk to every single person in your life about decisions you have to make. You can talk to strangers about decisions you have to make. It doesn't matter what anybody has to say - your heart knows you better than anyone else in the entire world. If your heart is beaming for you to go in one direction, you should trust that it's taking you there for a reason. I'm not saying that it'll work out just because you decide to follow your heart, but that's the beauty of life - you can always change your mind and start fresh!

Follow your heart because it beats for you - and you deserve the world and what your heart wants. You deserve to be so happy that your cheeks hurt from smiling so much. You deserve to fall in love. You deserve to go after your dream job or move to a new city and start an entirely new life. You deserve to go to any college you want. You deserve to study abroad or explore a foreign country. Whatever it is that you feel like you need to do, you deserve to do it. Your heart is beating for that thing in your life - it's yearning for it, and I'm telling you, you need to follow it.

A lot of times, people are looking for a sign to do something. They're looking for a reason to decide what to do. They're looking for someone to give them affirmation that what they want is okay. This is me telling you here is your sign. There is always a way to make things work. There is always a way to figure it out. There's always a way to realize what your heart is drawing you to and to follow it. Please, follow your heart, and more than that, have a little faith and trust it. It'll be the best thing you do.

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.
