"What is one life lesson you will never forget?"

Each direction you turn, life awaits a new lesson for you. Whether they are learned the hard way or through experience, each lesson is so valuable in how you handle decisions. I sent out a form to anonymous users asking them about the most unforgettable life lesson they are going to carry with them forever. To those who are reading this article, I hope you can take something away from these lessons and hopefully apply them to your lifestyle.

These are the responses I received:

1. To treat others as you would like to be treated

2. If you love someone, protect your heart. They may not feel the same way about you. Never push yourself to try to make someone feel the the way you do

3. You can't control someone else's addictions

4. Never lie. If you don't want to talk about something, don't talk about it

5. Just because you seem "right" for someone, doesn't mean they are "right" for you. It took me a while to learn this, I was in a past relationship and all of our friends thought I was good for him. He wasn't good for me though, and it turned into an unhealthy and borderline abusive relationship

6. Past mistakes do not define who you are!!

7. Be happy

8. Be kind to everyone

9. Realizing what I deserve

10. Love, accept, and respect yourself. Know that everyone is different and that is a good thing.

11. Some of the best things happen in your life when you’re not looking for them to happen!

12. I should have read books a lot more when I was young. Now, I wish I could get into reading more but it’s difficult to. I definitely wish I would have gotten in the habit of picking up a book instead of my phone

13. That to be happy with yourself, you have to learn to let go of all the hate and sad feelings in your life and just live one day at a time

14. Learning that the hardest times will eventually pass if you have the mindset to change the negativity into positivity

15. Always tell someone you love them and never be afraid of your feelings. You never know when the last time you speak to someone will be

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.
