To The Girl Who Isn't Able To Be Her Usual, Social Self In Isolation

I can easily be described as a "social" girl. Yes, I am social but I am also laidback from time to time. With coronavirus tearing our lives apart, it is much harder than you actually anticipated. You miss socializing even more. The social introversion taken for granted is now a long term regret.

As a girl who is struggling with social distancing, not having the freedom I once had is the hardest thing to deal with. I often regret the times I was laid back and quiet. You don't realize how much you miss something or regret something until it's taken from you. We take life as we know it for granted.

To the girl who is struggling with isolation — sister, I am with you.

You are not alone and we all have to lift up each other and come to unity. I know being secluded in your home can feel lonely and boring and challenges your sanity from time to time, but in the end, the goal is to get out of this crisis as a team. Unifying each other, working together and understanding what caused the pandemic and how we can prevent future pandemics.

Soon, when this is all over, we will all be able to see our family, friends, loved ones and those closest to you. Walking a park will be freedom and sharing memories will be the best thing to cherish once things return to normal.

To all the girls reading this, remember, sister, I am with you and always hold your heart.

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.
