Why It's Important To Have A Strong Support Group
Nami DuPage County

Everyone faces challenges in life. That is just the way life is. No one should face these challenges alone. YOU as a person should never feel as though you have to face these obstacles without someone by your side. Having a strong support group in your life is extremely important. It keeps you sane and well without the people in my life I have no idea where I would be. You have to remember that life isn’t going to slow down and you have to move along. When you are feeling that way that is when a good friend or a great supporter comes in handy. When you are feeling stressed it is OK to cry, crying feels good it is a good thing to do every once in a while. When you are having a bad day it is great to know that you have a list of people that you can call to make that bad day better. The people you lean on don’t have to be a close friend group, significant other or family sometimes you find that the best supporters are your coworkers. You spend probably the most time with them anyhow and they know you more than you probably know yourself. I am lucky to have a strong, and large support group. These people aren’t just local they are international (literally) I have no idea what I would do without them all. I find myself sometimes forgetting how lucky I really am to have great people in my life and I am sorry for that. It is good to have people who are willing to listen to you. The people that genuinely care about seeing you happy are the people who you should keep around in your life. Finding your support group won’t always come easy, and it may take years to realize that you have a great group of people in your life but once you find them don’t ever lose them. I am lucky to say that I have my support group that I know I will have for a lifetime. Thank you to every single one of you. You all live all across the globe and it feels so good to know that I can count on you to be there for me. I want you all to know that I am always going to stand by you as well. We will conquer this world together and I am proud of every single one of you. I am so thankful to know I have people who care about me and push me to be the best prototype of myself.

You all know who you are and I love you,

Peace, Love & puppies,

M

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.
