Here's To Those Who Feel Behind In Life

Sometimes I feel like I'm behind in life. Like I should be at this point in a relationship with this person and have our future plans all mapped out, you know where we would be living and how many kids we want to have. But I have realized that's not how life works and I need to slow my roll when it comes to thinking about my future and how it should pan out in my little brain. It is funny to even think about what my brain has stored inside, but boy are these thoughts really ready to burst like crazy!

I recently re-watched "The Ugly Truth" with Katherine Heigl. The whole movie she was trying to check all of these boxes off with who she thought she was falling for, Collin. But then she realized that once she allowed herself to just breathe that the right guy would come along to be there with her by her side, through thick and thin.

The funny thing is, she didn't even know that Mr. Right was standing right in front of her the whole entire time and she didn't even seem to notice one little bit (isn't that crazy town?). But I did learn from this romantic comedy movie and in life is that Mr. or Ms. Right exists for each and every one of us in this society whether we realize it or not. God has hand-picked someone super special for us to be with us in life, we just don't know who that someone special is yet. That's the mystery we all so curious to know about right?

I think that in life, we want to have everything planned out to at and we just get so focused on checking off boxes. I myself am guilty of doing this a lot, even though I shouldn't. I know that I should life and love happen as it should. I shouldn't worry about looks or a timeline of when things should happen.

I need to just let life happen and let the chips fall where they may. Cheers to going with the flow always and forever. I'm off to drink some wine and treat myself to a peel-off face mask from Target (yes it's legit y'all and I'm not ashamed one little bit)!

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.
