In A Perfect World

In A Perfect World

Sometimes when you have a bad day it is easy to wish a lot of things in your life were different. A lot of times you get hard on yourself and wish that the world was a little "less-sucky". So here's what life would maybe seem like in a perfect world.

In a perfect world you would get out of bed every morning and not look like you were hit by a truck. You would wake up with straight hair and a fresh complexion like a Disney Princess. You could roll out of bed and throw on a sweater and pump some T-Swift and just be flawless.

The world isn't perfect.

In a perfect world you could eat all the guac and chips you wanted and never gain a pound. You could eat Taco Bell, McDonald's, and wings all in a day and never get fat--or a tummy ache.

The world isn't perfect.

In a perfect world he would message you back like it was his job. He'd know you were interested and not leave you on read every single night. You would be loved so much and you'd be on top of the world. He'd compliment you and take you out on Fridays. He would kiss your forehead just because he loves you.

The world isn't perfect.

In a perfect world no one would ever leave you. Your best friend wouldn't decide that the world no longer needs them. That boy you talked to for 3 months wouldn't all of a sudden decide that you are no longer relevant. That girls dad wouldn't have walked out on the family when she was starting high school.

The world isn't a perfect place.

So what though? We all know the life can suck sometimes and it would be nice for things to be 100% perfect but how fun would that be?

If something would have been just slightly different from what it is now, your life would be so much different. And it would have changed your perfectly imperfect self.

•.• •

In this imperfect world you wake up every morning with a lion's mane of hair, a shiny face, and morning breath. But someday someone will love you even more when you look that way.

You make the world perfectly imperfect.

In this imperfect world you ate a whole bag of potato chips and maybe had McDonald's twice today. Your little bit of extra chunk only makes your curvy jeans look that much better for date night right? And besides--you'll workout tomorrow... Or the next day.

You make the world perfectly imperfect.

In this imperfect world he left you on read last night when you finally confessed your feelings. You mope around for a month or so and finally move on, only then do you find someone new who understands all your awkwardness and loves it.

You make the world perfectly imperfect.

In this imperfect world they left you. They left you alone crying in the bathroom at 2 A.M. They left you at the football field wondering how the last 6 months meant absolutely nothing. They left you and the rest of your family to figure out life without them. But eventually you move on and eventually you turn into a stronger person because of it.

You make the world perfectly imperfect.

• • •

You in your entirety make up an amazing and imperfect human being and there will never be anyone else quite like you. So the next time you wish life were working out a little bit better, just remember that the world is not perfect, and that's okay. It doesn't have to be.

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.
