There is nothing wrong with you.

There is nothing wrong with giving all of your love to someone or something. There is nothing wrong with being passionate. Driven. Understanding. Compassionate. Generous.

You are not clingy. You are not creepy or crazy or psycho or insane.

You're just you.

It's hard loving someone more than they love you.

There's no rule that says you have to take it slow. No guard pushing you back from the edge, telling you that you're not allowed to jump into deep water and love someone with all you have.

They always tell you not to pour all of yourself because you'll wind up empty. No one tells you it's okay to be empty.

It's okay to be you. It's okay to love too much.

People need to be loved forcefully. They need to be loved without compromise. They need to be loved violently. With all your strength and might.

It's scary. It's scary loving someone so hard and so much.

But that's the point.

Being with someone is scary. Caring is scary.

Loving is scary. But when you love someone and you love so much, you love the ugliest parts of them. You love their scars and their skeletons. Their stories and experiences become yours. And you never run out of love for them.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Love is patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins. When you love someone you are loyal, expect the best of them, believe in them.

Your love is not suffocating. It's not annoying. People have to be shown that they are deserving of love; deserving of your love, regardless of what has happened to them in the past. Love is hard. So damn hard.

But for you, someone who never seems to run out of love to give, love is special. You're special. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. What you have to offer is incredible and most people don't have the opportunity to ever experience the kind of love you have to give.

"They say love knows no bounds. I don't know about that. I feel like I've seen the bounds and pushed them a couple of times. Love definitely has bounds. I've seen where it ends."

So love fearlessly. Push the boundaries. And don't be afraid to love too hard. There's no reason to treat your love like a currency. There's no reason to be cheap or a penny-pincher when it comes to love.

There is nothing wrong with you.

Loving too hard and too much is not weird.

It's what makes you, you.

And we should celebrate it.

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.
