To The Girl Worrying About Her Future

Continue the hustle, but enjoy the moment.

To The Girl Worrying Too Much About Her Future:

Thinking about your future is great, but when it stops you form living in the now, then it’s not helping you.

It’s about finding the balance and setting up short term goals that will lead to a happy life.

You don’t have to know what you are going to do for the rest of your life right now, you don’t even need to know what you are going to do next year, next month, or next week.

When you struggle with deviating from a the normal plan or routine, remind yourself that you can’t forget to live in the now.

When you are sitting in your happy place, when you are settled and successful, you are going to look back on your life.

Are you going to have any good stories to share?

Will you look back and realize you spend all off your life on the hustle and none of it on the beauty of being alive.

Don’t get me wrong, the hustle is important. It's possibly what will bring you to your success.

But what are you sacrificing for it?

When I make it to the top and look back on my life, am I going to see myself at school, at work, or asleep? Or will I see happy memories with my family, heartbreaks I thought I would never get over, and crazy stupid nights with my friends?

I do the hustle right now, I put my time and effort into my school, my job, and in my free time I work out or eat.

I need to create a better balance.

When you are in your 20s, you are supposed to be doing ridiculous things and going on crazy adventures. Experiencing things that you finally have the freedom to do and still being young, with limited responsibilities.

Don’t worry so much about your future that you forget to live in the now. Embrace every day, it’s a gift you don’t just want to go through the motions of life and forget to really live.

Continue the hustle, keep your plan for the future, but don’t forget to enjoy the moment.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
