Hey you. I know that you're going through a lot right now. I know that things haven't been the greatest for you lately. You're struggling a little bit, but that's okay. You have a lot on your plate right now. But I promise you that everything will be okay.

Please never forget how much I love you. You have such a beautiful soul. You are one of the strongest people I know, and you inspire me everyday. You have the ability to do anything you want in life, and I know you will be incredibly successful in anything you choose to do. You have a big heart, and you are kind, generous, and compassionate. You are a fantastic human, and I don't want you to ever forget all of your amazing qualities, even on your worst days.

I know that some days you don't even feel like getting out of bed, and that's okay. Some days you can't find the motivation to do homework, that's okay. Sometimes you have to cancel plans so that you can sleep or do something for yourself, and that is definitely okay. It is okay to not be okay. You don't need to be perfectly strong all the time, and you need to take care of yourself.

Please make sure that you are taking care of yourself. Please eat enough, and get some sleep. Color or read a book. Watch a movie. Take a bath. Take some time for yourself. You deserve to take care of yourself. You NEED to take care of yourself.

Remember that you are loved. You are beautiful. You are strong. You have the power and the ability to do anything you set your mind to. You are determined, brave, and wonderful. You can do this. You can fight any battles that come your way. You are stronger than these obstacles. You got this. Keep pushing. And I will be here to hold your hand all the way through. I love you no matter what. Never forget that.

I love you to the moon and back. Keep your head up, darling.

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.
