As Many Stars There Are In The Sky

Just like the amount of stars in the sky, there are that many opportunities for you to shine.

As Many Stars There Are In The Sky
Futurism

For all of you who think that you can't become someone or that you can't do anything, I just want to tell you, that you're wrong. You are absolutely, positively, one hundred percent, wrong. dead wrong even if you prefer that saying. Every single one of us was put here to do something with our lives, to be someone we would be proud to be at the end of the day. We weren't supposed to just be born and then that's it, nothing really more to do. No, you were placed on this Earth to become someone, so stop thinking that you're worthless and find what you are good at.

Stop moping around, trying to get others to feel sorry for you and see what you can bribe away from them and get good at something and do that. There are so many people in this world who just munch off of other people and it's annoying. It really is because you were meant to do something yourself. All of us have something special about us and most of us are just content with riding on other people's success. You can have your own success if you work for it and actually do something about it. And I know that that may be hard for some, to actually work for something, but it's better than always being known as the person who leeches off of other people.

I can go on and on and on about how you need to find the inner potential in yourself and actually do something that you enjoy and stop believing everything will work out even though you have never done anything to benefit yourself but I'm afraid I'd start to sound like a hippie (the inner potential part) or my grandpa (the do something with your life part) so I'm going to stop. But, really, it isn't hard to actually put your mind to something and do it. It's so simple and you'll enjoy it so much more than just hanging onto to other people's lives and siphoning off their success. To be able to do something, get credit for and recognition...isn't that worth more than just barely scraping by?

You have a reason to shine, just like the stars do at night. Given, they are millions of years dead and we're alive but that's just a technicality really. It's more of a thought, a saying to get people motivated. Anyway, you have something to give to this world, even if you don't believe you do. You just have to find what it is and work on it so that your time on this Earth wasn't spent binge watching shows on Netflix and ordering take out because you're too lazy to cook something. Because sooner or later, you'll find that you haven't been anywhere, you haven't done anything that you always wanted to. You'll be in the same spot you were when you first started believing you weren't meant to do anything important and that will be such a waste, because you could have gotten up and thought, "I am important and I can prove it." But instead, you didn't believe in yourself and you didn't do anything and it will be such a waste.

Love Lost

Being the girl that is falling for the boy is never easy.

You constantly text my phone telling me that you want to see me and hang out, even though we may not have sex we cuddle and that’s intimacy in its own. I’m tired of buying you food and being there for you like a girlfriend when you consistently tell me you aren't ready for a girlfriend. I am constantly feeling I’m getting slapped in the face because I’m doing all these things and getting nothing in return. Every day I feel myself liking you more which is just crazy because why would I even waste my time liking someone there isn’t a future with. I just want you to be honest with me and with yourself, tell me how you feel from your heart, stop just saying you aren’t ready. You are wasting time telling me you aren’t ready because while you are “getting ready” some guy somewhere else is telling me that he likes me and thinks I’m beautiful and wants to date me. I’m not asking for much, but I at least want exclusivity because you ask me for all these things but in return you give me nothing.

Pretty Little Liars

From reading the books in eighth grade to watching the television show all throughout high school, "Pretty Little Liars"basically defined my teenage existence. I was completely and totally obsessed on all accounts. However, even though I loved the fact that the books and the show are starkly different, there are simply just some ways in which the books are much better. Let's take a look:

To The Girl In The Back Row
Sojo.net

Recently I was blessed to be a counselor at a wonderful camp, secluded in a cornfield somewhere in Virginia. I consider myself to be a seasoned camp counselor, as I have not only been a camper for most of my life but have been privileged enough to work multiple camps with all kinds of different facilities. I have worked camps with multi-thousand dollar facilities, with zip lines, rock walls, ropes courses, and boats. I have worked at camps with amazing water sports, camps with paintball, camps with canoes and paddle boats and floating blobs or trampolines in the middle of the water. I have worked at camps with in ground pools and camps without any pools, and even some camps with go-karts. I've had problem kids, kids who refuse to listen to anything I say, kids who sneak out after lights out to meet a significant other, and kids who are every camp counselors dream.

Why The United Nations Is Key For The World

The United Nations (UN) has been in existence since June of 1945. Since then, the world has come together to work on and solve some of the harshest problems that face the Human Race. Be it children in societal ills like Human Trafficking, natural issues like Deforestation, or issues of extreme poverty, the UN has worked together in an attempt to make it a better place for us all. It's the only organization in the history of the world to bring people together in a willing, peaceful way; a feat that not even the League of Nations could do in the Post- WWI era. Why was it that one organization failed, and the other one is still going strong, 72 years later?
