I have a question.

Moving forward

I have a question.

I have a question.

Why is the sky blue?

Why does the smell of fresh linen comfort you in ways other smells can't?

Why is God so good?

Why doesn't God talk back?

Why is depression a condition that people do not take seriously?

Why is anxiety so crippling sometimes?

Why am I still hung up on the fact that I didn't make someone happy?

Why am I basing my worth off of some few silly people who probably won't be in my life in the long run?

Why is being vulnerable and opening up one of the hardest things someone can do?

Why don't I have smaller legs?

Why was I born with a crooked smile? Everyone else's looks so nice.

Why did that one person have to go?

Why couldn't they have seen me graduate high school?

Why does God not answer our prayers sometimes even though we want it more than anything in the world?

So, so many questions, and most of them will go unanswered.

Struggling each day is hard. But that is why you take it day by day. Sometimes you're not always going to take a step forward. You might fall behind, or just be stagnant for a while. As long as you are trying to grow in God, and as a person then there is nothing wrong with how you get there.

"If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in common house." - Henry David Thoreau

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.
