Wouldn't it be nice if we had road signs to direct us in life? Not just for driving but for everyday decisions, or even major life decisions. Sometimes, a little direction would make all the difference.

"Dead End"

Ever heard the phrase "dead end job"? What if we were given a sign (literally) that this is where our career path was heading? Better turn around, that road will not take you where you wanna go.




"Detour"

Sometimes, life throws us unexpected changes. A little warning would be nice- just a slight detour in the path we were expecting to take.




"Bump Ahead"

Or maybe there's a bump in the road up ahead -- in this case, figuratively speaking. Whatever it is, brace yourself. Life is bumpy but at least you've been warned.


"Keep Right"

Or maybe you'd like to avoid that bump altogether. This sign could give you advance notice so you can prevent running into all of those obstacles.


"Slow"

Sometimes maybe you're just hustlin' and living life in the fast lane, but you need to just slow down, and notice things around you. This could be a reminder to chill out and be grateful for what you have.


"Turn Around/U-Turn"

Like the way that our lives often get redirected, and sometimes leave us with no outlet after we go down an unsuccessful road, here is a sign to tell us to just turn around and try something else.


"Intersection Ahead"

Or maybe a warning that we have a big decision to make ahead of us. A literal fork in the road, a metaphoric change of direction with our life.


Now, I believe in signs, that if we're paying attention to them, can direct us through our lives. But what if there were literal signs? Life is a winding road. The shocking twists and unexpected turns are what make it interesting, painful, and exciting.

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.
