Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment.

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.
