Poetry often times speaks what our soul is unable to express. It can heal and console you in times of pain. Here are 20 of my favorite poems for healing and moving on.

1. "Accept that you deserve more than painful love. Life is moving. The healthiest thing for your heart is to move with it."

-Rupi Kaur, "Milk and Honey"

-Rupi Kaur, "Milk and Honey"

4. "If you were born with the weakness to fall, you were born with the strength to rise."

-Rupi Kaur, "Milk and Honey"

5. "I know it's hard. Believe me. I know it feels like tomorrow will never come and today will be the most difficult day to get through. But I swear you will get through. The hurt will pass as it always does if you give it time and let it. So let go. Slowly. Like a broken promise, let it go."

-Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey

6. "If the hurt comes, so will the happiness. Be patient."

-r.h. Sin, "Whiskey Words & a Shovel II"

-r.h. Sin, "Whiskey Words & a Shovel II"

15. “The pain means you’re alive. The scars mean you’ve always survived.”

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.
