To the girl who masks her true personality because of social pressure and anxiety, you are not a burden and you are not alone.

Your emotions are valid and very much real. Your emotional pain of feeling unworthy and invalid will pass and you will thrive.

To the girl behind the mask who says "I'm fine," when asked if you're okay, one day you'll be able to say you're fine and mean it, but today you can't and that's okay.

Some day soon you'll be able to put the feelings of no-self-worth aside and say to yourself you're worth it. You're worth feeling content and happy with your life.

To the girl who is afraid of taking her masks off, remember the feeling of ease and comfort you had before the masks existed.

Your strength shines through your mask and everyone around you sees your value, even if you can't see it yourself. You were made for beautiful things... Things that will bring the feeling of fulfillment that you crave.

To the girl that carries the weight of the world behind that mask, some day you'll feel a lightness in your life that's so brilliant.

So hang on to hope and remember that this will pass and you will shine brighter than the brightest star in the sky. Some day you will be able to accept the person who hides behind the mask, and when that day comes you will no longer feel the burden of mental anxiety.

Stay strong and prosper on.

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.
