Best is yet to Come

The other day I came across a quote that I felt really impacted the way I was thinking about things lately. So many of us through both good times and bad times constantly. People who we thought would be in our lives forever hurt us and can even kick us again when we're really down. When these things happen it's natural for us to get angry and negatively change the way you think about friendships, relationships, and people. Although it's true that not everyone has the same heart as you and that some people are cold enough to do terrible things, it's important to maybe try to handle hardships in a more positive though process. The quote I came across the other day was, "We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us". When people hurt you it's hard to let it go but it's important to know that it is OKAY for people to leave your life. Most of us have this though of how our lives are and should be and aren't open to change. I'm telling you to let go of those toxic people in your life. God brings those people in to make you stronger. If you finally let go of those toxic people, situations, and energy, you'll see that new people and things will enter that actually help you and make you happy. The life God has planned for us could even be better for us than the life we have planned for ourselves In our head. In conclusion this quote really inspired me to do three things: be open to change, okay that sometimes things won't make sense, and always stay true to yourself.

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.
