I Hate Endings

"Nothing Lasts forever."

I Hate Endings
Issara Willenskomer

I hate endings. I hate that everything in life is temporary. I hate that once you are finally comfortable with something and in a content routine, it too will come to an end. I hate the feelings that engulf your mind when you know something good is about to be gone. I hate the feeling you get when you know it is the last time that you will ever do something. I hate the idea that your life can completely change after something ends. I hate not knowing where to start after something is over.

I hate endings, but I love the feeling of new beginnings.

I hate saying goodbye. I hate that an eight-letter word holds an uncertain amount of separation between people. I hate that a goodbye may mean you won't ever cross paths with someone again; this happens far too often. I hate that a word can basically tie up an entire mantra of memories, experiences and emotions; good and bad. I hate that goodbye means it is an ending, a parting.

I hate saying goodbye, but I love saying hello for the first time.

I hate the ending of a book, after you have invested yourself into thin paper pages you are left wanting more—for the story to continue. I hate being left with questions and an unsatisfied feeling of wonder and what else. I hate the ending of a relationship when you know you have to part ways after you have both invested time and life with each other. I absolutely hate that nothing lasts forever.

I hate the ending of a book, but I love reading new material that has not yet entered my mind.

Life presents us with endless new beginnings to start, new hellos to say, new books to read, and new people to meet. But ultimately, all good things life come to an end and I hate it.

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.
