Big City Dreams

Small to big.

Big City Dreams

All my life, I've lived in a normal-sized town. There's always someone going to judge you because they can. From my experience, most people are okay with this. For those who don't want constant judgment, we feel isolated. This is part of the reason I have big hopes for going to New York. I need to do something that I feel obligated to do. I need something that is out of my comfort zone and also something I enjoy. I need real life experience that is outside the two states I've spend my time in. I want to begin new chapters in my life and finish the ones I'm still writing. I want to go back to the pages that are bookmarked. I want to do some good and some bad. I need to do this because it feels necessary to me.

I don't know where I'm going but I have some dreams. Now I know I can't keep sleeping if I want to make them realities. I just need time, exposure, and people in my life. I want to make other people happy with my dreams. I want to fill piano bars and hear people laughing while listening to my music. I want to hear people quietening down while they turn their ears on. I want to have moments outside, while peaking down the street at the endless loudness in the dark. I want to go home and be happy with what I've done. I want to be myself, but also be someone that anyone can call a friend. These are my big city dreams.

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.
