I'm Just Tired

My excuse is I'm simply a teenager

I'm Just Tired

No, I don't not get enough sleep. I never get enough. I could sleep for days and would still say I'm tired. Why am I always mentally, physically, and emotionally so tired? My energy is 0. I never want to leave the house. I try to avoid going out with friends. I don't like talking about my feelings. "I'm just tired" is now just an excuse for everything, it's the way to get out of something you don't want to do or don't want to talk about. But I'm a teenager, what do you expect.

Reading this, some might say I'm sad and maybe even depressed. But I'm not. That's just who I am. I am content being by myself. I enjoy spending time in my room listening to music. It's not that I'm antisocial or an introvert, I just like my occasional alone time. I feel like everyday just sucks up all my energy. School, being associated and happy for hours upon a huge group of people I won't see again in my life, and sports and other things on top of that. It's a lot for anyone to handle. So yes mom, I'm okay. I'm not sad or depressed. I just go through a lot in a day and sometimes I'm stressed for no reason. I like my alone time. It's a time of peace. It's natural. So every time I say, "I'm just tired", don't worry. No need to nit pick to figure out what's best wrong, I really am just exhuasted. And when I'm alone, I'm happy.

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.
