A Letter to Those Who DOn't Think They're Strong Enough
J. Sureda Photography

To those who don't think they are strong enough--

First off, you are strong. Stronger than you think. Although it may seem like life is too hard to manage right now, it will get better. I'm a firm believer that life will not put in front of us anything which we cannot handle. So I think that most important thing we can do is to keep a positive mind and know that we can get through anything. Because once we find a way to battle through what life has thrown our way, we will emerge a stronger and wiser person. We are strong enough to do whatever we set our minds to, strong enough to reach our goals, strong enough to do whatever is necessary to find our happiness.

Life is literally a roller coaster, one day it will lift you up so high that you feel like you're on top of the world, and then the very next moment everything can come crashing down and fall apart. But that is also the beauty of life. I think that as long as we learn that now, we can then anticipate the lows and better prepare for them, we can become stronger so that one day they won't affect us like they once did. I think it's important to keep in mind the fact that nothing and no one is perfect. Everything is a work in progress, some are just better at hiding it.

But what I believe more than anything, is that one day all of our struggles will pay off. What life throws at us now will make us that much stronger for overcoming it. So no matter what obstacle life placed before you (like a failing exam grade, a break up after two years, or the death of a loved one) I believe it's important to take all of those struggles and turn them into learning experiences, study harder and devote everything you have to passing your next exam, finding yourself after it's been so long, or learning how to cope, I think it's the struggles which make us stronger. It's the strong people who get farther in life, so whether you're feeling low or feeling that life placed an unmanageable obstacle in your way, it's essential to remember that you are never weak, you are strong. And from this point forward you can continue to grow and become stronger.

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.
