Playing The Sims Is One Of My Biggest Outlets Of Creativity

I can be an architect, an interior designer, AND a landscaper.

Playing The Sims Is One Of My Biggest Outlets Of Creativity

Some people find that their creativity comes in the form of drawing or painting or playing a musical instrument... but not me. I love putting items - that already exist - together in a cohesive manner. Think more in terms of collages, interior design, and even architecture.

Those last two things, in particular, can be really expensive -- unless they aren't?

When I was younger, I loved playing the Sims 2 Deluxe on my PC. I would waste hours and hours playing out different life goals and building huge houses. But then I lost the game in a move, and I moved on.

Fast forward about seven years, and I see that there is a sale for Sims 4 that I can download on my Mac - for $5. Despite not playing for so long, I still had the fondest of memories of the game, and I figured that, for $5, I might as well see if I still love the game, especially with all the new items and better graphics.

Let's just say that that was one of the best $5 I have spent in a good while. I'm not a huge fan of the gameplay aspect these days, but I still love building and furnishing houses. Whether it be mansions or tiny homes, I lose myself in making houses based on certain themes or within a certain budget.

In spending $5, I get to be an architect and interior designer over and over again. Even though it is a computer game, I can feel my creativity flowing each time I play.

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.
