1. Nobody is perfect.

Yes, Hannah Montana was right. Be patient and remember that others will make mistakes, you just have to love them anyway.

2. Not everyone will like you.

I know it's hard to believe, but sometimes no matter how hard you try, people just won't like you.

3. #2 is not a bad thing.

You don't need everyone to like you, so don't try too hard to get those people on your side. The people who really matter won't need a reason to like you, they just will.

4. Always be genuine.

If you want the people that really matter to stick around, you've got to make sure you're giving them your best, and nothing less. Be good to people for no reason, always.

5. Focus on yourself every once in a while.

It's okay to be selfish every now and then and realize that you need some "me time" in order to get away from the world and keep yourself healthy and happy.

6. Take a deep breath.

Everything gets better in time. Don't let something small get to you. Take a breath, be strong, and remember that it will get better.

7. Be supportive.

If someone is excited about their accomplishments, build them up. Even if you don't understand why it's so important to them, the fact that they find it important is all that matters and they would love to know that you are cheering them on.

8. Don't take life too seriously.

One of the most important things in life is to have as much fun as you can. Laugh a little more and worry a little less.

9. Know that you are loved.

Things get hard sometimes, I get that. But you are loved. Every single day, by so many people, you are absolutely loved.

10. Say your prayers.

Sometimes you're going to feel alone, but I can promise you this: you're not. God is always ready to listen. Taking a few minutes out of your busy day to talk to the one guy who will never leave you is far more important than you think.

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.
