Why Going Home is Better When You're An Adult

Free love and laundry is all I could ever ask for.

Why Going Home is Better When You're An Adult
boards1.melodysoft.com

You decided it would be a brillant move to move out of your childhood home when you were 18 because you were "an adult ready to take on the world"

Then you get out there and quickly recognize that you've made a grave mistake. Being an adult/huma ain't easy.



So you count down the days till you get to go home.

When that glorious day finally rolls around, you get off the plane and run in to your family's arms like you haven't actually been falling apart the last few months.

You enjoy all the amenities. The endless supply of free food, free laundry usage, people that love you no matter how weird you really are. (Like really weird.)

And then your parents/family spoil you and take you shopping, out to eat and to get your nails done.

But then you see your friends posting pictures of stuff going on back in your town and you get serious FOMO.

So you enjoy your last few days at home but then start packing your bag, excited to go back.

The time has come and leaving comes with a bittersweet feeling. You tell your family you love them and then head off.

Then you get back and you miss your family all over again. The cycle never stops but that's okay cause this is life and you got this.

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.
