To The Little Children In My Life

One test doesn't define your future

To the little children in my life:

To the little girls:

You're beautiful, everything about you is beautiful. If there's an imperfection it makes you who you are.

Boys will be boys, and as you grow up their words are going to hurt you. But if you realize to yourself that you don't need the negativity in your life, everything will be ok.

Girls will also be girls, they are mean, they are cruel, and they can be completely twisted. People who make time to be in your life are the ones who you should want to be in your life.

And someone who values you would never put you in a position to lose you. Be the reason your friends smile today, or be the reason you have made a new friend.

Share your clothes with that sister of yours, because there will be a time where you will no longer be the same sizes. Or your closets won't be so close to each other.

Share the jump ropes and your favorite candy with your friends. Because sharing is really caring.

Always help the person in line who's struggling to tie their shoes because you never know the type of morning they may have had.

Most of all, don't say hurtful things to each other, because in the end it might hurt you. To those reaching the school years, one test doesn't define your future, and if you weren't invited to a friend's house, are they really your friend?

To the little boys:

Let's just keep our hands to ourselves, let's keep our anger calm.

You know you can't hit a girl, because you will hurt her. So don't say anything that could hurt her. And when you make a promise to her, keep it.

Don't make her lose trust in you. Don't be the reason she never trusts a guy again.

And when you find a girl who cares a WHOLE LOT about you, but you are too blind to see it, open your eyes wider.

Don't lose someone to something stupid. Don't make her cry over something you wouldn't want your future daughter crying about.

To the children in my life, Those shirts you wear that say 'today will be my day' and 'look out world' or 'smile' Live through those printed shirts. And be the reasons why someone smiles or even laughs.

from,

Someone who's been there.

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.
