Inside My Head: Part II
Power of Positivity

I don’t see the point in anger, or hatred. I also don’t understand how some people can be so cruel that hatred has become such a well known thing. In 2001 three airplanes were hijacked, and set out to crash into 3 major buildings in The United States. How can anyone be so spiteful to set out to ruin so many innocent lives? What can cause that kind of anger within someone? How can anyone ruin so many lives, take away a child’s parents so easily? What instills such a thing within someone that they feel they have no option other than to cause total destruction of ones life. So many children were left without parents that day, and so many parents were left without children. So many people had to call their loved ones from those planes and say goodbye to them for what they thought would be forever, for some that actually became a reality. Can you imagine having to keep the same recording of your husband’s voice on an answering machine for years just so you can go back and listen to them telling you that they love you one last time? Can you imagine a love so deep that you’d use your very last breath and living moment on this earth to call them and tell them how much they mean to you even if you don’t know how many seconds you have left. Can you imagine growing up without a parent because out of anger, and jealousy, and hatred, someone took their life from you when you were only five years old? Can you imagine being that child’s parent and having to explain to your child when they get older and can finally understand what happened why they grew up without a father? Or a mother? Or in some cases, both. It is so easy to let anger define us.

It is so easy to let all of the happiness that we worked so hard for go, and to turn all of your emotions into anger. It is easier to be angry than it is to be happy. Most of the time happiness has to be worked for, and there aren’t many people who feel the need to search for such a thing. People throw their lives into their jobs, or into their school work, and often forget to stop and step back and become aware of all of the wonderful things in life that so often go unseen. I understand that life is busy and hectic, and not everyone has the opportunity to seek happiness in the ways that others do, but there is happiness out there for everyone. I’d like to believe that at least. Life isn’t always going to go the way that we expect it to but we can’t just sit back and let it walk all over us. Everyone deserves some kind of happiness in their life, whether that be with a relationship, or a family, or a job promotion, or traveling the world. Everyone is different. Everyone has different wants and needs. I cannot write what your happiness may be, but I can tell you to go out and find it. Living a life full of anger and misery is not what anyone intended for you during your time on this earth. Make your life what you want it 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.
