You didn't have smartphones, tablets, and flatscreen televisions like today's kids do, but that doesn't mean your possessions were any less valuable to you.

1. Your diary

Your deepest darkest secrets were written in there!

2. Your American Girl dolls

They were very expensive dolls and it took a lot to finally convince your parents to buy you one, so of course, they were valuable to you.

3. Your Webkinz


This was even truer if you didn't have pets growing up. You needed something to cuddle and play with!

4. Your electronics


Whether it was an MP3 Player, a Nintendo DS, or even a LeapFrog Turbo Twist Extreme, your electronics were some of the coolest things you owned.

5. Your favorite shirt



You were miserable if you ever stained it.


6. Your board games


How else would you break the ice at playdates?

7. Your favorite book

Even if you weren't a bookworm, we all had one.

8. Your sticker collection

You had glittery ones, and puffy ones, and giant ones, and scratch and sniff ones, and the list goes on and on!

9. Birthday money


For a while, this was probably your only source of income. You were lucky if your parents let you spend it all at the toy store or the candy shop.

10. Anything from your friends

It could have just been a fancy pen from the book fair or a homemade friendship bracelet. Even if it broke, there was no way you were throwing it away.

11. Your art set





A box of off-brand crayons simply wasn't enough for you to express your artistic brilliance. If your siblings wanted to borrow a marker or colored pencil from it, you were over their shoulder the whole time, watching their every move.

12. Your Razor scooter

Everyone had a bike, but only the cool kids got Razor Scooters! You just had to make sure you didn't whip it into your ankle putting it back into the garage, and everything would be okay.

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.
