It's more than a thing, feeling, or action; it's everything.

Why Love Is The Most Beautiful Thing

Love is such a wonderful and beautiful gift. I think Liam Neeson said it best when he stated, "Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love but in reality, love is the only thing in the world that covers up all the pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the only thing in the world that does not hurt."

Comin’ in clutch Liam.

Most people unfortunately know the pain of heartbreak, of someone leaving, or the sorrow that follows the loss of a loved one. However the real tragedy comes when we close off our hearts to love due to the pain we’ve experienced or when we accept love that's half hearted and impure. We start to believe misconceptions and remember how our love was taken for granted in the past, when really it was the lack of love that was the problem.

Now trust me when I say I've been in positions where I swore love was the problem and I could just never love anyone or anything ever again. But life does move on with or without us and eventually you see the light; that love is the solution. Without love we would always be broken and searching for happiness. We would never know what it feels like to be completely accepted and forgiven. The people who love us show why life is worth living. And trust me, no matter who you are or what you've done, there is always someone that loves you.

Those friends that hold you close when you're hurting, the coach that supports your dreams when it feels like everyone else has given up on you, or that family member that reminds you every time time you text them that they're always there, no matter what. Those are the people that show you what love is all about. Be that person to others always because life is tough. People will hurt you and sorrow will bruise you but never lose sight that love is the answer. Love is always the answer.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

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.
