Leave Me Alone

I do not understand why one could ever want to settle for anything in life.The United States of America is known to fulfill dreams and give opportunities to people of all nationalities. This one life given to you by God, spirituality, or science should be spent doing anything and everything you LOVE. Unfortunately, I have been mocked for wanting more for myself than the standard, average or anything above mediocre. Personally, I want a gold fence outlining my house to keep the unwanted out but I want people to be able to look in. My goal is to be an example for others than you can have it all and you should obtain it all. My family, with or without children but includes my husband, will be a family full of love, happiness, and great health(Love is a major key. *DJ Khaled voice*). Aside from anything personal, my professional life is what I will not settle for. I dream to be an author, entrepreneur, and a brand. Let me say this though no matter what standard I choose to set for myself, my ultimate goal in life is to be unconditionally happy.

My bank account will have so many commas corporate America will be jealous, possibly Oprah Winfrey too. I want to be rich, stupid rich, and foolishly rich. My money will work for me in numerous forms in a way that taking a year to travel with my beau will always be a topic of conversation. I will admit it. I want to be as famous or relevant, in a more positive way, as Kim Kardashian but with a bank account as Bill Gates. I would be willing to exchange the fame for more many but branding yourself seems to be very important when it comes to joining the class of new money. If you do not know, I enjoy writing so I would like to write some books, no reality television show, but maybe be a part-time talk show host. My life consists of achieving so many goals that I get myself tired just by thinking about. I do not want to settle. I deserve it all.

Shame on you people for mocking me about my dreams. I do not know who crushed your spirits growing up or recently, but I do not want you to crush mine. We can be friends or associates but I want you to be my enemy and my motivation. I will use your negativity to push me into a lifetime of prosperity and happiness. At the moment, I am preparing myself to achieve my goals by tolerating garbage teachers and spending long nights doing homework to be able to teach at my alma mater. I am building my resume to make myself marketable against other instructors to be able to teach at a two-year college full-time. Every day I am working towards a goal that is bigger than you and me. Do not mock me for having aspirations that you cannot achieve. This is why you do not tell big plans to small minded people.

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.
