Embrace The Good And The Bad Days

After a crazy past few months, it feels like life is getting back on track. We all have those days, weeks, months, or maybe even years where we ask ourselves where is my life going or what am I supposed to be doing. That's how I have been feeling the past few months. I have asked myself so many questions and so many times I felt like I didn't have the answers. It took a while, but I feel like I am starting to find the answers and even a fresh start.

The way I see it, I can either look at the past few months of my life as just full of struggle and hard emotion, or I can look at it as a time of growth, learning, and strength. Yes, the time was a struggle, but it only made me stronger. Yes, the time was full of anger and sadness, but that only made me grow and learn how to better myself. We need those times of confusion, heartbreak, and struggle to take a step back and realize what is going on in life.

I've heard that it's up to you to find your happiness, and after pondering that thought for a while, I believe it to be true. Yes we will always need other people, but when it comes down to it, you are the one who has to chase your dreams and accomplish them. Nobody can do that for you. It takes those bad days for you to realize what you really want out of life and if you haven't thought about it, you probably should. After you start chasing the life you want and it may seem like the good days keep coming, a few bad days might show up. And it's okay to be angry, confused, sad, lost or any other feeling you will feel, but you have to let that encourage you and not tear you down.

Life is full of perspective. A lot of people say you can look at the glass half full or half empty. I say you can do both because nobody's perfect. Some days you feel like you can change the world for the better and some days you will feel like you can't change out of your pajamas. Although, pajamas would be comfy to change the world in.

It's perfectly normal to have bad days and it's really awesome when you have the good ones. They both make us human and shape who we are supposed to be. Looking back on life it's crazy how many good days I have had, but it is also crazy to think how many bad days I have had. I'm finally starting to piece everything back together and figure out what I want. Life is tough, but believe me you are way stronger than you think you are and with those really good and bad days, life is incredible.

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.
