For anyone out there who feels as though they are sinking right now.

If You're Looking For A Sign: Here It Is
Atmospheric Phenomena

If you're currently struggling, desperate, or nervous, I promise you it will all turn out okay.

If you are sad, lacking motivation, trying to stay afloat, I promise everything will be well again soon enough.

I feel as though we so often forget that our problems are only temporary. The things we allow to stain our minds with nerves and unwanted worry are only for now. If you're looking for a sign that it will all turn out the way it should, here it is. I know this because thats the way its always been. A wise young woman once sang, "The sun will come out tomorrow," and the trueness of that statement resonates through every tear, fear, or grief I've ever experienced.

The important thing to remember is that the things we experience now are not the defining factors of who we are as a whole. However, how we choose to face them is a testament to our own strength. The two choices are as follows, overcome or let it overcome you. No matter who you are, the problem you face, the fears you hold, you have the ability to overcome it. It lies within your very core.

After all, from birth we are constantly defeating obstacles. As infants, we learn how to use our fingers and toes, we crawl, we stumble, and then eventually, we walk. Though the difficulties we face as we age, become increasingly more complex, the concept is still the same, we crawl, we stumble, and then eventually, we walk. We were made to overcome, we were designed to not simply accept the failures, passively waiting for someone else to solve for us. Rather, we were created to light our own fires and use those flames for the betterment of our world.

I write this article in part for myself, in part for others, and in part for any one specific person who needs it the most. If you're looking for a sign, here it is. You will turn out just fine, your cuts and bruises will heal and leave you even more radiant than ever before, depending on how you let it affect you. My advice? Feel that hurt, let it simmer, and then transform it into pure inspiration. You will overcome, thats my promise.

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.
