To The Girl Who Feels Like Everything Is Going Wrong

I know it's hard.

To The Girl Who Feels Like Everything Is Going Wrong
Adriana Gil

I'm sure it feels like you have everything coming down on you and you can barely catch a break. I'm sure that you wouldn't want anything more than to just give up. But you can't.

Just because everything around you seems to be crumbling, doesn't mean you should crumble too. It might feel like you are, but you can't let it defeat you.

Times will get hard and you will feel like you're alone. Even if you have an army of people behind you or not, you might still feel alone. It's not the ideal situation, but it's also not terrible. Sometimes you need to be alone and feel alone, to accomplish something. To get to the bottom of things. To figure out what's going on so badly, that you're helpless. Sometimes in the moments of weakness, is when you find the true answers to your problems.

You can't be afraid of being alone. You can't be afraid of change or be afraid of things going wrong. Things have to go wrong sometimes and that's that. If you wanted everything to be right in the world, you'd go mad. What you can do, is help the cause to become a better world. To become a better you.

Treat yourself as if you are a world in this universe. Would you try everything possible to help better it, or would you abandon it? Such a pretty world go to waste? Or to build it into something better? I'd hope you pick to build and help it because that's what everyone truly needs. Everyone needs to build their own world and help others build theirs. Though the foundation of you is built by itself. What do YOU want? What do YOU need? What do YOU aspire to be?

Sometimes, being alone is what answers all those questions.

When everything around you seems to be falling apart, think of what you can do better it. Think of how you can grow from those things and create a better world. This is the time to strengthen yourself, so do that. Make yourself stronger. Even if it's a failure at a time.

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.

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.
