2016 Recap And Beginning To 2017!

Since as I'm writing this its the 1st of our new year 2017, and as cliché as it is I am going to write about my New Years resolutions and a bit about how my 2016 went. It seems as many are posting on social media that there's been a lot of people who had a rough 2016 but for me it has to be hands down one of the best years of my life.

This year I accomplished so much. I graduated high school, got into college, Finished my first semester of college with some pretty good grades, and managed to have a job with that. I as well this year truly found out what it's like to truly know who I am as a person and to be completely happy with who I am. I went through some rough times don't get me wrong but I've learned to take something good out of everything that happens, even the bad. I've learned what it's like to feel hurt but I've also learned what it's like to come back from that hurt and to become a better person. I've learned to love others no matter how dirty they do you. I've learned in life you just have to take it as it comes and go one day at a time and be grateful to be given another day.

As it is the New Year I have some New Years resolutions. Each year I go into with some but for some reason this year I feel really determined to stick to them. My first New Years resolution is to keep loving myself and take time every so often for just myself to do that. My second resolution is to never stop striving to be a better person, work each day to be better than the person I was yesterday. My third resolution is spread more positivity and love, just share a smile or a simple compliment to someone, something to make someone else's day. And my last resolutions is to just be healthy. Both physically and mentally. Focus and do the things that will better me in the long run for me physically maybe exercising more and mentally maybe meditating each morning. I am very excited to see where 2017 takes me and what I may accomplish and what god has in store for me. Happy New everyone!

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.
