Something so ugly that even the prettiest people get it raging in their bones. Jealousy is something that everyone feels at least at some point one time or another in their lifetime.

So what does it feel like? Well, jealousy can come from anything. From something simple as someone having something you don’t have or someone you don’t have.

It eats at you, it causes you to get so angry and over analyze everything that each corner of your mind can possibly create. Most of it is conjured up in your own mind that doesn’t even exist and you’re playing your own tricks on yourself.

Jealousy can swallow you up whole and take over you completely to the point where you look in the mirror and you don’t even know who the hell you are anymore. You promised yourself time after time that she was just a friend and you had nothing to worry about but you do anyway and you swear that there is something else going on there. So you turn into this angry raging person cursing and throwing out assumptions that are just downright ridiculous.

Your blood starts to boil and you feel the heat rising to your face until you blow it out at the top of your lungs and even higher because you knew you could.

Being jealous could lead to anger and then you start to question everything a little harder than you should be. It feels like the world just might be collapsing down and you don’t know what to do because you let your mind run away from you.

You might even cry when you think of what they could be doing together even though it was made known she was just a friend and nothing was going on between the two, but you can’t shake the feeling that you’ll lose to her.

It tears you down because you start to consider how she might be better than you in aspects that kill you inside more or less.

I can say that I am easily made jealous over the little things that get under my skin and I bottle it up until it spills and overflows from every inch of me until I can’t control it and it comes out in the worst of ways. I lose the sight of myself and become someone I shouldn’t from something so small and so insignificant. It’s one of the scariest of emotions I could ever experience towards another person. I hate the person that takes over when I get jealous. I cry and scream to the point where I have no emotion left in me. It doesn’t get to a dangerous point at any time, but it isn’t a great feeling.

It’s one of the ugliest emotions that everyone goes through, even the most humble people. It happens to us just like any other emotion because we are human and it’s inevitable that we go through these kinds of things. If we didn’t, what would be the point?

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.
