Follow Your Wanderlust

Go wherever the road takes you, walk as far as your feet will allow you to and then some.

At some point in our lives, we all tend to get a bit of Wanderlust. As people in our early to late twenties, we want to go exploring, we want to feel that huge sense of independence that has just been handed to us on a silver platter. I say go for it. Go wherever the road takes you, walk as far as your feet will allow you to and then some. We only get one chance of this before a the weight of adulthood and responsibilities will come knocking at our doors, so go out and explore the world while you still can, I know I will. There is so much out there for us to see, so many hidden places to find and call our own before we go off into our careers. There is so much to explore and do before we reach the peak of not being able to do stupid "kid stuff" as I'm sure we'll all call it when we become full fledged adults.

This is such a prime time to go seek a new adventure, meet new people and enjoy life while we have it in our grasp. At first it'll be hard because we aren't used to having so much freedom, some will be to timid and will wait until the perfect moment they feel is right some will be to aggressive and just jump right into an adventure not thinking about the consequences. Both are fine, but there should always be a balance between the two. If you jump into finding your own adventures too soon you may find yourself in some troubling situations, and if you wait to long to find your perfect adventure you may find yourself missing out on some pretty awesome ones because they weren't "the one."

There is so much out there to do and just so many people to see, and we can do all do it if we just take the small amount of time out of our days and just wander. Whether it's as small as taking a walk down town or going into a store you would never normally go into. Or if you choose to go big, go big take a road trip across the United States, or make it a point to go backpacking through Europe. Whatever the case wandering is truly good for the soul, and gives us that natural high that makes us feel like we are on top of the world.

So go out there and have some fun with friends, or go out on your own to make some new ones. In the end by following that butterfly feeling of wanderlust we all gain something amazing out of it and that is an experience we will never forget. Go out there into the world and wander, go find those hidden places and make them your own, look under every mysterious crevice, nook and cranny. Go wandering not only because it's fun but because it's life full-filling and because we only have so much time in our lives until our wandering must end. Take that leap into your wanderlust I know I will.

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.
