Asking Myself, Looking For A Solution

Not Knowing If There Will Be An Answer

Asking Myself, Looking For A Solution
thaguy24

Sometimes, walking day by day, I ask myself: Am I happy?

Am I really happy? Sometimes I am, sometimes I'm not

Doesn't mean I'm not sad or anything, just means I'm not always at a 100%

That's normal, I would consider it almost impossible to be 100% happy all the time

Why do I ask this, well, I wish I had the answer for asking, but I don't

Probably because of curiosity, I always ask myself questions

Is there an answer for everything that's on my mind?

Sadly, no, and sometimes there's never a concrete answer to anything

But there's an enjoyment of this, to the uncertainty, to what you may never know

Recently, the question of whether you could ever find total peace came to mind

It took some thought, but then I realized that it's not possible

Total peace doesn't exist, because we, as humans, need some type of destruction

When something is so serene, it's flat, it's boring, it's un-amusing

And by destruction, it means imperfect, that there will be noise, disruption

So, the question may be: Can you find the balance between peace & destruction?

As I keep myself on foot, to find a solution, I know at least I find happiness in asking

Curiosity will always keep me awake, looking for the answer

There may not be a solution, but it's not about that, it's about the thrill of not knowing

The thrill of wanting to know, and expanding on it

So It'll be back to walking, day by day, looking for myself

While I still can't find me, I'll keep looking.

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.
