Open Letter To Anyone Who Is Struggling In Life

You will be alright, I promise.

Open Letter To Anyone Who Is Struggling In Life
Allie Iver

To whoever is struggling with something right now:

Here is the thing you will be alright. I know that sounds insane and probably just downright cliché right now. You are just going through a difficult time and even though it may feel as though the end of the world is upon you I promise it isn't.

We have all had those moments from your heart being broken, the passing of a loved one, your parent's separation, and even your dreams not coming true. It sucks to be in that position, it sucks feeling as though the whole world is against you, it sucks not being able to find the happiness you once felt. See that's the thing you will feel that again.

There will be another guy to come along and make you feel as though the last one wasn't even worth a single tear.

Before you know it instead of feeling pain when thinking of your love one you will begin to think of the happy times, the happy memories and moments you shared and you will tell stories of them to your friends, family, and children. Don't get my wrong it still will hurt sometimes but you can't focus solely on the bad, don't you think they would want you to be happy?

As for your parents take this advice from someone who is a child of divorce, you will wake up every day and the sun will still shine and the birds will still sing and life will continue on. Your life will be completely altered but before you know it: it won't break your heart to think of how much life has changed. Instead, you will come to realize one very important thing in the words of Lilo and Stitch "My family is little and broken but good. Yeah, it's still good."

I am a firm believer in dreaming bigger and always having the courage to pursue your dreams no matter what anyone tells you. If one's dreams become unreachable or unachievable don't worry that's the amazing thing about dreams you can always find a new one.

So to whoever is experiencing a rough time in your life, you will be alright. It may not be today that everything goes back to the way it was before, it may not be in four months from now but I promise you will be alright. The sun will shine and life will continue on and before you even realize it you will rejoin life and everything will feel as though its back to normal. That's the key though your life will never be the same but that's the good thing change inspires brighter ideas, happier moments, and greater life experiences. Remember the words of Rex Allen, "There is a great big beautiful tomorrow!"

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
