To Whoever This May Concern

Be the reason for change.

To Whoever This May Concern

The world needs you. Someone somewhere needs you. Quit living your life in a lie. Quit caring what others think. Quit thinking you aren't good enough. Quit overthinking. Quit anything negative in your life. You are still here for a reason. But you must go out and find that reason. You are loved. You are cared about. You are needed. You are enough. The world can be cruel but don't be the one who makes it worse. Go out and make a change. Make the most of your life. Fulfill your dreams. Don't let fears overtake you. No fear is so a fear to big to overcome. Share your stories. Shoot your shots, even if you miss. A mistake made is a memory lost or regretted. Don't be afraid of who you are. Don't be afraid of pain. Quit living in the past. There is so much ahead in the future that you'll miss if you don't take the risk. You might have a few downfalls, but you will always have a major come up if you leave the past behind you. You win some and you lose some because perfection only exists in God. Stop beating yourself up over everything that doesn't work in your favor. Cry, get yourself back on track, and move on. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in great ways." Never believe anyone who downs you, they are only scared of the great things you can do. Live the life you want. Be the person you want. Strive for greatness. Love yourself. Be truthful to yourself. In the end, you can say you lived a life of greatness but only if you make it that way. You choose what you want to do, so choose wisely.

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.
