I know the waiting seems forever, but it'll be here before you know it.

Girl, You WILL Get Your Breakthrough, It Just Takes Time

I won't lie to you, I've been waiting quite a while.

It can get boring, and lonely, and you will sit and wonder what your next move is for hours. You'll beg and plead with God and try to understand why life feels like its moving in slow motion, or even worse, come to a halt altogether. Your heart will fill with anxieties of not knowing what is coming next, and you may just feel utterly lost. But, take hope and know that in the wait, you're going to find amazing things, and when that breakthrough comes it'll be better than you ever could've imagined.

It sucks when life feels like a waiting game.

You just keep asking yourself "what's next?" and the answers never seem to come. Pros and cons lists, praying, talking to family and friends: sometimes you do it all and you still don't know what to do or what's next. Whether you're in high school wondering what college to go to, in college and trying to find the right major, trying to find a job after graduation or debating switching careers, it can feel very daunting to change. Change tends to be big and scary, at least in my life, and often I run and hide from it. I like comfortable and easy, and I question every decision I make. But truly the worst thing is feeling like you need to change something — like you're just stuck, and you don't know what it is or where to start.

There is good news: it's gonna get easier.

You're not going to feel stuck forever and you're gonna get some clarity sooner or later. God has something amazing waiting for you on the other side of the battle, and even though you don't know it now, it will be beautiful. It will make all of the struggling, pain, and confusion you went through seem so small.

Just keep going, working hard, looking toward your goals and finding what makes you happy. Live life day by day and don't rush things. Breathe through the anxiety and know there is a plan for your life.

The breakthrough can feel a million miles away, but it's just around the corner, and it's all gonna be worth the fight.

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.
