Keep Pushing Through Whatever You Are Dealing With

Did you ever think what the world would be like without you?

Well don't because there is so much more to the world than you think. You just have yet to see it.

Many of us are at the age where we have to start acting like adults and leave our childhoods in the past. I have struggled with this part in my life this past year, well because who honestly wants to grow up? It is apart of life, but it should never be a reason why you would question your existence, no circumstance is that harsh. God put us on this earth to make a difference not to question ourselves.

I have to constantly tell myself, "It will get better". Why you may ask. Because being a college student with depression and anxiety is never easier. There are days when my depression will consume me and make me believe staying in bed is best for me. Yes, it is comforting to lay in a bed all day and do nothing, but if I let that happen, then I am letting depression get the best of me. Life tends to be unfair sometimes, but you have to keep pushing and fighting. You deserve to be here as much as anyone else does.

I know I am not alone in this. You are not alone either in any situation. Mostly everyone will go through life and come across a conflict quite like mine or even yourself. It took me awhile to realize this. Please don't take too long to realize it before it is too late.

Life is a about making the best out of it every day. Once I started letting all the negativity out of my life and kept reassuring myself that I have a voice in this, I became to realize that this life isn't too bad after all. You just have to push through it. There is so much joy and adventure in life. I cannot wait to see what my life has in store for me. I know if I continue to tell myself that I am okay and that it does better, then I will be exactly where I want to be with my happiness and life. If you feel the same way as I did then I am telling you now; You are the only person who can help yourself. It all starts with you.

There is much more out in the world. Do not constantly limit yourself because you are scared, you can make a difference in the world. When I stopped limiting myself, that is when I start enjoying and appreciating my life more. Be brave, be kind, but most importantly; BE YOU! The world would most definitely not be the same without you. You are one of a kind.

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.
