The language of love is very simple: love others, and you will get love back.

Sometimes we don’t recognize the love that exists in our lives, mostly we are conditioned to link love with significant others. From what I have seen, the language of love flows even when strangers talk in a polite manner. Love can be found in those who adopt a good manner. Whereas people who talk more and show less often fail to express love and gratitude. Good manners enable a person to automatically deliver the love a person should receive.

Not only do good manners express love, but polite tones of speech do as well. One of Newton’s laws is, “with every action, there is an equal reaction.” Although this is an important theory in physics, it can be applied to all situations in life. Reciprocation is key in expressing love. If we talk politely to people, they will talk politely to us. If we are honest with each other in a relationship, it gives us the strength to feel confident, great, and it makes us feel wanted.

According to psychology, any form of love, from passionate to compassionate, is a necessity for one’s mental health. It is necessary for one to feel a sense of belonging to someone. We are all social animals that crave attention from others. The attention we get makes us feel wanted or connected to each other. However, love cannot be replaced by any materialistic things. Only love can bring happiness and satisfaction in life. There is no value in diamonds with the absence of love. The language of love is very simple: love others, and you will get love back.

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.
