Why Big Hearts Have The Most Scars

Big hearts shouldn't finish last.

I know what you are thinking.

"What's wrong with always seeing the best in people?"

"Why do people take advantage of me?"

"Why do things never work out the way I think they will?"

The answer to those questions is simple: you have a big heart.

When someone comes into your life you take them as you see them. You don't think about any consequences or any problems that might come with them, you just jump right in with open arms and an open heart. You love uncontrollably and deeply and you do it very quickly. You get excited about everything about this person and you love the way they make you feel and you love the fact that you can make them feel something too.

The only problem is not everyone loves so passionately and falls as quickly as you do.

You are confused why they aren't set on you after a few good dates like you are on them. You are confused how they can go from being so interested to avoiding you. You are confused on how they can act and tell you they feel something for you then take it away, because you are unable to do that. Once you feel something, it is there and there's no going back.

You see them pulling away as normal and think it's OK because you don't want to accept the fact that they could be doing this to you. You see the best in everyone, even when they give you every opportunity to make you think the worst of them. You keep trying because you want to remain positive and not discourage the thought of love.

I know this because I am this girl.

Well the truth is, some people are not worthy of your big heart, but one day you will find someone that takes your big heart and will fill it up with even more love. The tricky part is finding someone who can accept you for who you are.

You might kiss a few frogs, and Cupid might throw some bent arrows, but one day your big heart will love the right person. You just have to be patient.

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.
