You Are Not Alone In This Life

Yes, you have a purpose.

Throughout your life you come across many different types of relationships. You can watch a father love their child and have that overwhelming feeling of warmness in your heart, maybe not as in depth of a mother, but something similar. You can experience heart break, multiple times, in a variety of ways. You can find friendships that last only momentarily or a lifetime. You meet extraordinary people and hear their unique stories.

Life is so full of experiences, unfortunately you look past the little things it has to offer. How many parts have you played in others lives? Have you ever been a care giver, lover, mother, father, or friend? Although not all those relationships last, you were still an important memory of their life. Often, they may come across your name and smirk with the thoughts of your memory running wild through their minds.

The impression you leave on someone's life is much more important than you may know. The moments you spend laughing along in the car, sitting up until the sunrise sharing stories, or just out adventuring the world are the moments that last forever. Take a step back, deeply examine the relationships you have had in your life, or currently having. How many different types of relationships have you had, what roles did you play in their lives, what roles did they play in yours? It is quite an extraordinary realization if you can think deeply enough.

With that being said, you are important. You have a profounding affect on each and every soul you come across and touch. The roles you play in others lives has an influence no matter if it is admirable or unfavorable. Imagine having a life time of those memories and feelings! Imagine this life with only memories of you, adventures not taken, and words unspoken. There are so many who would love to have those moments with you presently and in the future. Live your life to the greatest extent you are capable of. Leave that long-lasting imprint on another's life. Explore your mind, think deeply about the small, minor features that make up your life. You are here, wanted, and loved by so many. Keep holding on and never forget how important you truly are.

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.
