Hope: It's Kind Of A Funny Story

Starting over is sometimes the biggest blessing in disguise.

Hope: It's Kind Of A Funny Story

Hope- A feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. Some people say that hoping is just a waste of time. Some people can hope and wish their whole lives away, always looking for the next big thing. This often leads them to look past the great things that are happening in their life as we speak. At one point in your life something is going to happen and you will realize that life is too short. Tomorrow is not promised and we shouldn’t waste any time doing things that truly do not make us happy. Instead of always wanting to have all of the answers, enjoy life and what you are blessed with now, because those are the moments you will remember the most. Most likely you won’t remember the fact that the boy you liked didn’t text you back for a few hours, you wont remember that time she didn’t invite you to her house for the party, but in a decade or two you will remember many other times. Times that you laughed so hard you cried, all of the fun times you shared, and every risky story that you do not know if it is okay to even bring up yet. Every person that you connect with has built you into the person that you are today. Your past is never something to be ashamed of because if it didn’t happen you wouldn’t be who you are today. Enjoy all the people in your life and stop hating the people who are no longer there. Not everyone in life is meant to last forever and that is the harsh truth that no one likes to hear. You will not be the same person you were in 10 years and all you need to remember is that this is okay. Starting over is sometimes the biggest blessing in disguise.

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.
