Age Is Just A Number, Ignore It And Be YOU

Age Is Just A Number, Ignore It And Be YOU

Age is a number of years that we have been here, how long we have lived; but truly does not define who we are, what we have done or what we will become. In society this is completely opposite, it has created a label that gives off the impression that we are what our age is which is false. We come into contact with a multitude of people throughout our lifetime, some that are beyond their age, some that act their age, and some that might act younger than their age.

This is not an issue, but where the issue lies is when society decided that no matter what we have done or who we are; our age will determine if we fit in, if we are liked, if we are successful and if we know anything. But this is where it is wrong, we as humans grow every day, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. You constantly learn new things, develop new habits, create new routines, and meet new people. We might not see it fully since we are the ones living it, but we grow, we learn and we flourish slowly over time. Some of us have seen rough patches earlier in life, and some see it later. We all have a reason that we are here, but it isn't all at the same time that we will become our reason or do our reason.

There is a right time for each of us, and all of our actions; this being said don't ever allow other people or society to dictate what you are accomplishing or who you are. Some of the most successful people in this world have made an impact at a very young age. As a great writer once said, "YOUTH is a gift of NATURE, but AGE is the work of ART."

This being said even if you are 10, 13, 27, 52 years old there is a never a better time to go after those dreams, accomplish those goals and achieve all that you are capable of doing.

So... BE BOLD, and BE YOU.

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.
