Don't settle for a love that leaves you feeling empty when you constantly give a person every piece of your heart.

Don't settle for a love that doesn't fill your entire body with hope and a desire to chase the love that you truly want.

I know that you love him. I know that you've given him your entire heart and in return, he hasn't even given you half of his, but you still choose to stay. You stay because you truly believe that you can change him to be who you are continuously searching for each and every day. You want to be the one to crash down the concrete walls that he's built around his heart. The truth is, you can't change someone who doesn't want to give you his all up front.

Maybe you were slightly lucky and you were able to break down a partial bit of that wall. He gave you all that he wanted to offer to you and if what he offered still left you broken, you shouldn't have to settle for that. You are worth more than he believes that you are.

A lot of people in this world love harder and love deeper and that isn't something that should be considered a bad thing, because it isn't. What it means is that you should find someone who loves you just as equally and someone who makes you feel happy and satisfied with the life that you are living.

Don't settle for someone who can't give you butterflies every time that you see them. Don't settle for someone who makes you feel alone even though you give them your all. Don't settle for less than you are worth.

Stop settling for a half-hearted love when you deserve to be given the best. I know you love him, but you have to learn to let him go. Sometimes leaving is the best thing that can happen to you. Find someone who uplifts you and not someone who downgrades everything that you do. You deserve the world. Take the chance to find it.

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.
