Change Of Scene

Deep breaths; calm thoughts

Change Of Scene

1:56PM

You need to do homework, but your room is too loud. There's too many distractions and you're too busy thinking of the words to the song that's playing to focus. Deep breaths; turn off the music; you need to focus.


2:17PM

Dammit. It's still too loud. People keep walking past your door, screeching about good-for-nothing boys and girls who need to "chill the f*ck out." Deep breaths; check the train schedule; you need a change of scene.


2:48PM

The walk to the train station wasn't loud, but it wasn't quiet either. Put in your headphones while you wait the final minutes for the train. Deep breaths; louder volume; you'll have your change of scene soon enough.


3:07PM

Your music is all the way up, but you can still hear that baby crying on the train. Why is finding a little peace and quiet so difficult today? Deep breaths; calm thoughts; you've reached your destination.


3:14PM

Loud. Loud. Loud.

Why is it always so loud no matter where you go? All you wanted was some peace and quiet. Instead, you got nothing but noise. Deep breaths; get back on the train; you can try for your change of scene another day.

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.
