10 Signs You're In Love With Nature


1. People frequently call you a hippie.

Typically, my mother calls me a hippie, but she already knows what she's going to do with me when I die. She's going to turn me into a tree (it was a very interesting discussion).

2. Walking across grass when you're barefoot is your favorite thing ever.

Nothing is better than the feel of cool grass, and soft earth under your bare feet. The thought makes me swoon.

3. Actually, being barefoot is absolutely liberating.

Whether you're barefoot walking across your lawn, or with your feet in the lake, being barefoot is amazing. Just keep an eye out for animal droppings.

4. You have a favorite season, and you're very passionate about why.

Autumn is the greatest season of all, and no one can convince me otherwise.

5. You have an absurd amount of nature pictures saved to your phone.

You also have more on your computer, and all over your social media sights.

6. You keep finding reasons to go outside.

Whether your friend wants to go catch Pokémon at the park, or it's too cold inside because your dad enjoys sub-zero temperatures, you'll find an excuse to be outside.

7. You like nature more than you like people.

Nature isn't rude to you. Nature doesn't ask stupid questions.

8. You don't mind getting dirty.

Sure, you may have grass stains on your jeans, but you think it adds character.

9. You can easily spend a few hours outside, and not get bored.

I've spent three hours sitting barefoot in a creek with only music to keep me occupied. Honestly, I wish I could have stayed longer.

10. Being in, or around, nature makes you extremely happy.

Sometimes, you just need a break from people. Spending a few hours recharging your batteries in nature is a great way to keep from killing someone, trust me. Being out in nature makes it easier to breathe, which makes life so much easier.

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.
