12 Struggles Of An Introverted Mind

Just in case you were wondering what life is like as an introvert:

1. You’re quite all right with not being the center of attention. It’s not something you really look for and when it has to happen (surprise parties, graduations, birthdays) you feel just about as uncomfortable as humanly possible.

2. Meeting new people isn’t on the top of your list. You don’t feel the need to go above and beyond to create a vast network of friends. You’re doing just fine with your close kept circle.

3. You’d rather stay home or keep your night off low key instead of going out to mingle. Bar talk, small talk or random stranger talk bores you.

4. You’re naturally awkward. You didn’t ask for it, you didn’t try to be it, it just happened this way. Sigh.

5. Even though you accept your introverted ways, you sometimes try to step outside your box and see what life is like on the other side…You quickly realize it's time to retreat...

6. You are often criticized for having an attitude, being a snot or "too good" just because you are bit more reserved. Look below to see how I feel about that...


7. People tend to think you have nothing to offer or are a bore. This is only because you don't broadcast your latest resumé builder or glorify your talents. #notnecessary

8. Regrouping is fundamental to our daily lives. This is hard for extroverts to grasp, but we need time to get our thoughts and actions back in order.

9. Although we are phenomenal listeners, we still like to be heard at times as well.

10. We succeed in the realm of the world wide web. Which obviously, hardly involves real life human interaction.

11. You think entirely too much.

12. Distraction is our middle name. It's not difficult to get us worked up when we're in a hectic environment. Focusss.

So there ya have it. Extroverts, see our struggle?

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.
