Journey Of A Million Words

Are you able to walk from point A to point B without any accidents?

Can you run without tripping on air?

Are you able to perform basic tasks with ease?

If you answered no to any of these questions, you're not alone. There are so many basic tasks I can't complete without incident, and that's okay. (I think so anyway.) Everyone is clumsy once in a while, some more than others. Here are 10 things that you know to be true if you're almost too clumsy to function.

1. Carrying multiple objects at once is a challenge.

A lot of people have difficulty with this, but if you're as uncoordinated as I am, it's definitely not something you want to do every day. Even the laziest clumsy person will resort to multiple trips to avoid the embarrassment of dropping things in front of people.

2. You would never survive in a horror movie.

You think you're going to run away from that scary thing chasing you? Think again. You're dead meat, pal. Hopefully you can muster up some master plan to crawl away or something, once you're down you probably won't be getting back up anytime soon.

3. You somehow hurt yourself almost every day.

One way or another, you've got some sort of injury. Whether it's a paper cut, a stubbed toe, a bruise you don't even remember getting, or even a broken bone.. No matter how hard you try, if it's going to happen, it's going to happen to you. Make sure you have a first-aid kit handy.

4. You lack basic coordination skills.

No matter how hard you try, your equilibrium is always off and this is what leads to most of your ridiculous injuries. You hand-eye coordination sucks, so sports are always a challenge. We're the people that always get picked last in gym class. It's okay though, at least we try.

5. Because of that, you can't walk in a straight line.

You can be sober AF and still sway and stumble. Hopefully you never get pulled over.

7. Everything is an obstacle.

We try our best though, so A for effort.

8. You literally trip over EVERYTHING

Air, pebbles, curbs... Air. But we recover gracefully and that's all that matters.

8. You typically wear (or drop) more food than you eat

This happens to me all the time. There's literally nothing worse than eating before you go out and getting something on your shirt. No matter how hard you try, it'll happen. Make that napkin a bib and hope for the best. Also, try to keep food away from the edge of the table.

9. You've learned how to laugh at yourself

After the first few times of falling, you start to learn that you just can't be embarrassed anymore. Besides laughter is the best medicine, especially when you hurt yourself real bad.


10. Regardless, you're still freakin' awesome.

No matter how many times you hurt yourself or drop things, you are awesome.


Be proud of who you are, you clumsy mess.

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.
