even drake gets down sometimes, but we all started from the bottom

You ever wonder why you get so down and low sometimes? Wonder why things never work out for you? Well it's pretty simple to explain, and the answer is you! Everything is not going to be the way you want it, and thinking negatively isn't going to help, but you can help yourself in a simple way!

Sometimes we get into slumps, droughts, holes, or are merely sadness. This can happen for a reason like you just got bad grades, you've had multiple interviews and haven't landed a job yet, your friends all are in relationships, and you're not. Or you just simply have no idea why you are on a slump and feeling down.

Having this feeling happens to everyone; it doesn't matter who you are, what you look like, or what you do. We all have heard Drake before, right? Even the most famous and wealthy have these times of desperation where their emotions aren't lined up to where they want them. Drake, for example, recently came out with "I'm Upset", which clearly shows he is upset.

But you know the difference between the way he thinks and the way most people think? He stays positive about nothing else.

One of the many Webster morals and mottos I have is the perfect one for when you are in situations like this, and it is one of my favorites, too! "Why worry about the things you have no control over? Just worry about the things you do."

I love this saying so much because it's true. I mean this in two ways. One, being why to be negative or think negative, that is what leads you to be in a funk and be in your head. Most of the times when we are down, it's because we put ourselves down by doubting our own selves, and that is because we overthink.

We are in our heads, and we need to get out of our heads. When you think about it this way, you start to question yourself about why do you do this to yourself. That applies to most of the shitty things that happen to us or the things we bring upon ourselves into our lives, whether that is crappy friends, crappy situations, a crappy relationship, or just plain crappy decisions.

There is something called the "Law of Attraction", and what this means is you attract the energy you bring around you. So, if you are always thinking negatively or thinking pessimistically, you are going to draw negative and uninspiring vibes into your circle, your vibe, your aura.

But when you think positive and optimistic, you will pull positive and fulfilling aspects of life into your own. That can manifest into a good job, more positive friends, and a better overall living situation mentally and physically.

The other reason why I love the saying is... why worry? If you are going to bother or stress yourself over something you have no control over, you are going to go crazy. Think of a dog when they chase their tail; we know that they are never going catch it, but they overwhelm themselves by trying to, and then they get tired out.

Well, that is what we do, myself included, when we obsess about the things we have no control over. Like traffic being bumper to bumper and you are now late to work, you got a crappy grade in a class because the professor was actually horrible, but you couldn't do anything about it, or being f-ed over in a relationship because of the other side.

Life just sucks sometimes, and it's something we need to accept. Everything is not always going to be rainbow and unicorns or, in college, straight A's and days filled with fun and partying. There will be the days where it's filled with sadness, sorrow, emotional and physical pain, and pure exhaustion.

But the one thing you must always remember is life is the way you make it if you do nothing to make it better or just are always in a negative mind frame. Well then, that's what you are going to experience, and you brought that on yourself.

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.
