Yes I'm Going Ghost, But This Is Something I Have To Do For Me

We all need distance sometimes.

There are days when people don't want to be bothered. The vibes that are surrounded by them not only trigger isolation but a breather that is vital to their sanity. Life can move faster than our minds sometimes and the only solution for that is separation. This may cause your loved ones and friends to question your loyalty because you've gone ghost, but that's fine. We all need to be selfish sometimes and put ourselves first.

Distance heals the mind, the body, and makes the direction more clear. It's more than beneficial.

1. You can finally relax

If you're like me, you're always on the run. That go-getter mentality is naturally within you but sometimes it's necessary to just have time to actually relax.

2. Focus on what's important

Our minds can easily get bombarded with any and everything. With distance from everyone, we're able to arrange those thoughts and/or ideas that we weren't clear about at first.

3. Learn more about yourself

We never really know ourselves, even if we think we do. We just need to take the time and know more about ourselves that we may not be aware of.

4. Find your purpose

The feeling of being lost has to be the worst feeling ever. Everything that seemed clear is now blurred and that only leads to frustration.

5. You have time now, use it wisely

That agenda that is full of to-do lists, create one distinctly for you.

6. Do something for yourself for once

There's nothing wrong with taking care of others but we need to take care of ourselves as well.

7. Don't feel sorry about it

No one should ever have to apologize for putting themselves first. Even if it means that you have to remove yourself from everything for awhile.

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.
