We All Deal With No Good, Very Bad Days And We Will Get Through Them

Most likely these days happen to be a Monday.

Some days there is no escaping the dreaded "adulting" of life. We all have them. Days where we work entirely too many hours or have the oh so fun dentist appointment — you know the ones where despite your entire mouth being numb, you decide to skip into the market to grab a simple dinner and end up inevitably running into your ex! This seems to be a universal law along with one sock of each pair disappearing inside the dryer.

Those days you are so frazzled it takes you way too long to figure out why he/she continues making some bizarre motion on their face. That puzzle is quickly solved horrified with a glance in your rearview mirror. There are several universal laws. One of the biggest of of these is where one sock from each pair will inevitably disappear into your dryer.

Another biggie, you can count on. Putting it politely, when the day comes where you stand face to face with your ex, you will be visually impaired in some capacity. Brace yourself, as it can happen in many forms, I was simply fortunate to have blood and drool cascading like Niagara Falls.

Adulting is tough. Let me rephrase that, I do not think one single teenager was prepared for the amount of "adulting" that was about to come upon them after finishing high school. I know I for sure was not.

I mean let's face it, I am pretty sure that some days all that is getting me through the day is a big chocolate bar and some "Vanderpump Rules." Life is life, and I do not think we will ever have it figured out like Lisa Vanderpump really does, but I'd be lying if I said I was not going to give it all I had.

That day where you forget your laptop charger at home and are trying to survive that hour and a half class on 10%. Or when you forget you rainjacket and forget there is a monsoon coming your way.

I could go on and on, trust me. However, I think once you come to terms with the fact that life can be crazy and embarrassing, you stop taking the easy things for granted. You stop trying to become a "perfect" you. You embrace the good and the bad and you grow up, well because that's the only choice you have. Hallelujah!

So, some days if all you want to do is lay in your bed and cuddle with your dog, do it. If you can not make yourself go back and check your chemistry homework for the 15th time, just say forget it. I am a firm believer that we can get through life together and happy once we realize we all have different versions of happy.

So Mondays, flat tires, and pop quizzes, you thought you were going to win, but I think I've got the "slap of life" covered now.

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.
