I'm In Love With My Life

It took me a while to realize this but I'm so glad I did.

I don't mean that my life is perfect because in no way is it. I still have those bad days and really bad days. But I've come to realize that deciding to reflect on good moments you have instead of the bad ones truly changes your outlook on life.

We're about to jump into my personal life so everyone holds on.

A while ago I went through break up. Not an easy one let me tell you. I was sad for a while and had a really pessimistic view on life. I felt like I had put all of my love into something that no longer existed and in turn, I stopped putting effort into a lot of what brought me joy.

I felt like people were the only thing you could love. I jumped around trying to find someone to hopefully fill this gap I thought was in my life,

I was determined that being in love with someone new would fix all of my sadness.

But I still found myself being unhappy.

That's when I decided I needed to focus on me and nobody else. I spent time with people that truly made me happy, and doing things that truly made me happy.

I fell in love with the late night drives where I and my friends screamed our favorite songs.

I fell in love with those moments when you're laughing so hard your stomach hurts.

I fell in love with reading good books.

I fell in love with going for runs.

I fell in love with the moments where I sat outside and looked at the stars.

I fell in love with all of these moments in my life. I keep having these moments where I feel so happy and content with where I am and I realize I don't need someone else to fill the gap because there isn't one.

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.
