Most people assume that the only thing Taylor Swift sings about are her exes and her relationships. But Swift's reputation precedes her when it comes to songwriting; she is a talented songwriter and has written some inspiring lyrics that have helped me when I am feeling down.

"Someday I'll be living in a big old city, and all you're ever gonna be is mean."

"Mean" was written to all of the bullies out there, asking them the simple question: "Why you gotta be so mean?" Whenever someone out there is bringing you down, just remember these lyrics and how they're going to be nothing more than what they already are. Mean.

"Lost your balance on a tightrope, oh it's never too late to get it back."

"Innocent" is a song that tells you that you are more than your mistakes. These lyrics will help you remember that you can always recover and grow from past errors.

"Someday you won't remember this pain you thought would last forever and ever; and there you'll stand, ten feet tall.  I will say, I knew it all along."

"Sweeter than Fiction" is a song about struggling to get to where you want to be. Everyone goes through rough patches when trying to get to their goal, and sometimes these rough patches make us want to quit. Taylor is there to remind us that although you're suffering now, if you keep working at it, you will eventually find success.

"Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're 22."

"22" is the staple girls night out song. It's a song about forgetting your worries and just having a good time. So when you're stressed out about what's going on in your life, just dance it out because everything is going to be okay.

"It's a new soundtrack I could dance to this beat forevermore, the lights are so bright but they never blind me."

Whenever I listen to "Welcome to New York" it makes me want to learn a million new things at once. If you're ever nervous about trying something new, these lyrics will give you the confidence to take it on!

"Cause baby I could build a castle, out of all the bricks they threw at me."

Taylor has always had a lot of hate thrown her way, but she never fails to rise above it all. These lyrics, from the song "New Romantics," help remind you to never let someone's hate bring you down, and you can always rise above it.

"Hold on to the memories they will hold on to you."

As we grow up, we move on from things, no matter how much we want to stick with them. These lyrics remind you that although moving on is hard, you will always have the memories to hold close with you.

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.
