Sometimes, it takes a little bit of gas and lot of faith to make things work.

I Took A Personal Day And Found Myself Cruising The Blue Ridge Parkway On The Back Of A Motorcycle

One Monday morning rolled around, and I got a phone call asking me to come to the Virginia mountains to rekindle what little bit of a relationship I still had left with a love that ended abruptly months ago, and I said yes.

I had class but two of them had just been canceled, I had recently decreased my hours at work, and my life had actually been going pretty well lately so I decided to say yes to adventure and 30 minutes after my phone call, I was headed to the mountains.

I wasn't really sure what my goal was when I got in the car other than to get back the man that had frustrated me to no end just a few months ago. What I was planning to do or say when I got there I wasn't sure, but I just figured that it couldn't get any worse than when it ended with him the first time.

I got to the mountain and things were going well. I felt like things were really starting to look up and I realized that he might actually be serious about a future together when he looked at me and said, "I'm crazy about you and I will wait for you to be out of school and able to be with me".

Wow.

If you knew this guy, you would know that those words probably tasted a little like vinegar coming out of his mouth. Maybe he finally was serious about us and I couldn't wait to see what life could be like with him.

We had finally talked about all the relationship things. The future and us as a couple, where life could potentially take us and being together. We talked about what we were and where we stood and I finally felt so comforted after months of anxiousness.

When I left that Monday morning, I decided that I wasn't going to the mountain with a negative attitude and I continued to say yes to him for the next few days about what we were doing during the day, going to his friends' houses, and spending time with his family. Eventually, after 3 days with him, I found myself saying yes to being on the back of his motorcycle flying through the Blue Ridge Parkway.

I was trying so hard to take everything in and I realized as we flew around the Virginia mountains that I would be perfectly content with going through life with him. I was so happy with where I was at in life and I knew that if we were both ready for this to work that it was going to. As I looked across the ridgeline of the mountains and took in the breathtaking views, there was so much running through my mind. Out of all the thoughts engulfing my mind, the one thought I couldn't seem to shake was that I would be perfectly okay Chasing this guy for the rest of my life.

In other news, if anyone has any ideas as the what sort of 'documentation' I can bring my professor to get her to allow me to retake the test that I missed, it would be appreciated. My 'personal matter' could only be forgiven if I brought her documentation, whatever that means. Sorry, mom.

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.
