2018 May Have Tried Me, But It Didn't Get The Best Of Me

2019. Bring. It. On.

This year sucked. It truly did but instead of ending the year crying and on my knees praying for a better year, I'm standing here, filled with confidence because I know 2019 is going to be my year.

2018 showed me it truly means to have the rug ripped out from under you and what it means to feel alone and powerless. I shed so many tears this year and I desperately for new beginnings every other second. 2018 definitely tried me but it also gave me a sense of vengeance.

2019 is going to be my bitch.

Crude language aside, I am so serious. I will make this new year the ultimate antithesis to all of the B.S. and downfalls this year has brought me. I will thrive and I will conquer because next year will not be yet another year that I end feeling depressed and sorry for myself. I want to end next year with excitement and anticipation because that's what I deserve.

I won't sit here and make ridiculous resolutions and pacts with friends that this new year is going to be my best yet. I won't sit here making promises. Instead, I'm just going to make it happen. Planning hasn't gotten me anywhere in the past and planning won't bring me anything but wasted paper. I want this new year to be epic and I want it to be filled with triumphs.

We all deserve to have a kickass 2019. Take those written words on paper and make them a reality because I don't know about you, but I am tired of making the same plans every year because every year, I never complete my goals.

I don't know exactly what I am going to do with a new set of months, but I am hell bent on making them the best I have ever lived, and I intend to make every year after even better; setting myself up for utter happiness. I want to start doing and stop saying.

2019 – let's finally do this.

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.
