Death Is Your Only Worthy F*ck To Give

You choose how to react to your life.

Death speaks.

It refuses to remain silent despite our suppression of its voice.

Stop. Ask yourself, what really matters to you?

When I do, I see that I care about service. I adore change. It is the only reality. This adaptability I emphasize and share as my service.

With family. With friends. With those I do not know. I say, change is the only thing that is real.

Everything else is centered around this true constant. Without change, we stagnate. We decompose. We atrophy. With it, we endure pain, trials, and problems.

Problems. What are the true problems? What is merely created? It’s hard to know sitting in the plush comfort of your own skull.

Seeing things as they are. This is a skill that takes work. Acknowledge and let it go. This is a skill. We must practice. I choose to watch my breath for 10 minutes a day.

Death is small if we let it be. Pile the daily million little somethings in a stack to blind us. Obstruct our eye on the mission. Progress will halt. Change will happen, but through regression. You will fall into old ways, slowly pedaling up the never ending hill of worry and anxiety. One of your many peaks never coming into your horizon.

Unless, you put Death on your dashboard. Let it remind you of your hourglass. Every pebble that falls marking a block of your life that you chose to spend on something.

Are you choosing consciously?

Death speaks at every corner.

Meet it eye to eye or forget and regret.

Whatever you do, remember every move you make or don't is a choice.

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.
