10 Things You Need to Say Goodbye to
Hope Speak

We all start off by trying these new things or meeting these people. In the end you believe they will stick you forever so all you say is hello! There’s no such thing as goodbye in most cases but there are somethings you need to say goodbye to. Here are ten things I can think of that you need to say goodbye to.

Toxic People

Yes we have heard these two words in the same sentence before. It is very important to see that these people do NOT belong in your life, at all, whatsoever. You need to open your eyes and instead of saying hello you need to say goodbye.

Food (Not all of it)

There are most foods you need to stay away from because that food is not good for you. It’s the reason the phrase, “I need to go on a diet,” was invented. Yes you can revisit from time to time that one food you truly enjoy, but for now you need to say goodbye to it.

The Word Perfect

If you remember my article about this word then you know why we need to say goodbye to this word. Yes, I say we, I sometimes still use it too. Nothing in this world perfect and we have to start accepting that as reality.

The Word Normal

If you don’t remember the article I wrote about this word then you really have to say goodbye to it. No one is this word anymore since all the social norms we know now are slowly disappearing. It’s something no one is realizing until you look really closely at the world today.

Some Social Media Apps

Some apps are better than other. Ones lasted a few months while others lasted for only a few years. Like MySpace, those few month apps really need to go. No one has time for those apps anymore.

Some Phone Numbers

People come and people go and sometimes you have those numbers saved for the next time you need it. Yes I understand a restaruant but when are you going to need a number from a school you never been to or even thought of going to?

Some Friendships

Friends do come and go which I have learned the hard way. Once they find a new person or group to hangout with they stop talking to you or just not acknowledge your existance period. That’s when the friends need to go.

Several Family Members

Yes they do say family is forever, but in reality, some family members don’t even want to be part of your family. Those are the ones that don’t come to any events or don’t call anyone for anything. These are family members you remove from your life right away.

Your Childhood

The world is changing. Everything is changing. The television shows and movies you watch are changing. The younger generation is saying these newer shows are childhood. Yes the memories are forever, but say goodbye to seeing them on TV!

Your Old Self

You don’t stay you forever. You adapt to newer backgrounds and newer faces and they help develop this new coherent sense of self. You change everyday of the week whether you know it or not so say goodbye to your day one past self.

If you do not say goodbye to these ten things, or at least one of them, your past is going to linger on forever and you won’t be comfortable with it at all. So once you have a chance to realize there are somethings you need to let go of, it will be that time to say goodbye.

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.
