Peace Out Homestate, I'm Not Gonna Miss You

It's where I'm from, but it's not where I'm meant to stay

Peace Out Homestate, I'm Not Gonna Miss You

This may have been the state where I grew up, the place where my friends and family live, but it is not where I'm meant to be and for that reason, I'm not sad to leave.

For almost six months now I've been planning to move out of my home state and let me just say as time goes by I feel more at peace and content with my decision.

Which that isn't normally how I am, I don't plan stuff ahead, I stress out and made decisions last minute weighing every single pro and con first. Even after that sometimes I don't even make an actual decision, I just wait until it's made for me or I stress myself out over what could go wrong and just abandon the thought of change.

I am made the decision to move seven hours away from this place I called home for the longest time and I could not be happier about it.

Ever since I moved back to Missouri, I have dealt with extremely toxic and controlling family members and have been kicked down in about every way possible.

Just in these past six months I have went from nearly not having anywhere to live, to losing my car, losing a job I loved, switching to a job I hated, nearly losing my dog, losing two high school friends, selling my soul and working at my families company, been stolen from, and have even had my identity stolen twice, and that's all on top of the health problems I moved back here to deal with.

This past six month has been the worst of my life, but only better things can come next, or that's what I keep telling myself anyway.


I'm moving back to Indiana, not only can I get a fresh start, but I can live in peace without all the toxicity.

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.
