To The Person Who Cares Too Much, You Are NOT Weak
Gina Kuroda

Dear whoever you are,

I am right there with you. You are the type of person who is described as selfless but also overreacting. You are the person that will go out of their way to make someone happy when you know they might not deserve it. You might also be the person who gets attached too easily, even to TV characters, but that does not make you a weak person.

On the other hand, you are stronger than most. Having such a big heart can be deceiving because as much as you care about people, you learn a lot about those around you. You can see right through those who probably do not have the best intentions, but you do not care. You only want to see the good in people.

This is the best quality you have, and people know this about you, therefore it is easy to be taken advantage of. You are the person your friends come to when they need something because you are always more than happy to help, but they are hardly there when you just want to talk. At the same time, they hardly appreciate it and do not realize what your friendship means.

Only those with the same heart as you understand what it’s like to constantly give people second chances even though you know you are going to get hurt. You look past people’s imperfections with hope that they will care about you as much as you care about them.

Friendships aside, relationships are even worse. You become the partner who will do anything for the one you are with. Therefore, heartbreak is foreshadowed.

But because of these heartbreaks, you become stronger. You never stop caring about others, but you do learn to be the person who cares but is also strong.

A person who will always put others’ needs before your own and will always genuinely care about how a person’s day is going, is rare nowadays. Cherish your gift and never let anyone tell you that you are wrong for caring because they do not know what it is like to love someone dearly and living in disappointment because our expectations are never met.

Celebrate this gift you have because as much as it is a blessing and curse, your actions towards others makes this world a better place. You are the type of person that one day, if you have not already, will make an impact in someone's life and hopefully the world as whole.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
