An Open Letter To My Current State Of Mind

We will be alright.

An Open Letter To My Current State Of Mind

You feel like a ticking time bomb, don’t you?

I know this because my back hurts. I know this because I cannot sleep at night and I have to pump my veins with caffeine three times a day. I know this because I randomly have the urge to cry. I know this because everything is mushing together like clay and I find myself drowning in every issue, melodramatic moment and past moment that I cannot let go. But take a minute and let me breathe.

For you, just breathe.

The stress of the semester is caving itself in and we are both struggling. I know that we are supposed to know what pain and hardship are but at what cost? College is the major culprit and my heavy workload is crushing me into pieces smaller than I imagined.

My Current State of Mind, everything will come together and you can finally put yourself on snooze. You will be able to sleep soundlessly and dream the dreams that always made you happy.


Sometimes, I love the loudness of you because I know that you are alive and well. But now, your sound is dwindling and distant.

I want you to remember all that you have worked for and gone through is greatly appreciated.

You can do this.

All of the stress and inevitable tension can be destroyed. No, it will be destroyed.

We both agreed that we can do anything if we put ourselves into it. We both must dive into the wreck and find some sort of sanity during the intense portions of my life.

You shape my life and right now my life needs to be molded into something that isn't a puddle of goo. I believe in you.

My Current State of Mind, you and I will be alright. I promise.

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.
