Grief is Normal

Everyone Grieves Differntly

A year ago in October I lost my best friends, my nana. I have been having a really hard time since I lost her on how to deal with everything. How can someone so important be in your life one minute and then the next they are gone? To me it is such confusing time. But that is life, and it is okay that you are having a hard time, even years after. Everyone grieves differently and as a person you have to learn how you yourself can cope the best way possible for you.

Going to visit the grave for me has been something that I have been struggling a lot with lately. To me I just do not feel my nana there. After listening to the Song " I Drive Your Truck" by Lee Brice, I didn't feel alone. In the song it goes, " And momma asked me this morning, if i'd been by your grave, But that flag and stone a'int where I feel you anyway"(Lee Brice). After listening to that song, I myself realized that it is okay if you need to take the time to heal before you go and see it for real. To me, seeing the name on the stone makes it harder. I live everyday trying to cope without my nana, and seeing that doesnt make it any better. I'm here to tell you if you are having teh same feelings thats okay. The stone is there for a remebernce and where they are laid to rest, for some people it is to hard to go and see it . And that is okay! Remember your loved ones are with you, even wehn you dont think they are. No matter how you are grieving know that it is okay and totaly normal.

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.
