2018 was a year that was very polarizing. Some things were very incredible and changed the way that people looked at the world, but other things broke people and changed them maybe for the worse.

I know for me personally, when a new year rolls around, I want to try new things to try to change the way that I think, look at myself, and maybe even how I look at the world. So going into this year, I made a list of activities and other things I want to try this year and maybe even get into.

I hope that this inspires you to create a whole new you in 2019 and shows you that it's okay to try new things, even if you fail.

The first thing I want to do is meditate even more. I have been mediating throughout the whole 2018 and I absolutely love how it makes me feel.

Meditation helps you connect your mind, body, and soul. For me, after meditating, I feel so calm and collected and even more motivated to have a good day.

The next thing I want to get into this year is art. I've always been very bad at drawing and painting and stuff like that, but I really am into looking at art and I have always wished I was a lot better at it, but I just always pushed it off as something that I couldn't do.
I decided for 2019 I wasn't going to let myself tell myself that I wasn't going to do something just because I think I can't do it. I really want to start with painting because I really love watching people paint and colors and things like that.

I also hope to start getting better at presenting myself. I love makeup and I really like to do my makeup, but I really want to become better at it. I always watch videos on Youtube of makeup artists doing their makeup and I hope to get better at makeup this year.

Also, I want to start getting nicer clothes for myself because usually I really don't care about what clothes I wear.

Next, I want to start taking group classes at the gym. In 2018, I started going to the gym regularly and I love it so much. However, I really hate going with other people and being around other people when I'm working out.

So, this year, I decided to take classes at my gym and be around other people.

The last thing I want to do this year is probably the most important. I have always been a very closed off person and I don't open up to a lot of people. I internalize a lot of things and it always bottles up and pops out in the worst ways.

So, this year, I would really like to open up to more people and say whats on my mind and try not to internalize things. Being open with the people you love is so important and when I do open up about what has bothered me, it helps me so much.

This year is going to be a lot different than 2018 and I believe all people can change for the better.

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.
