Inside My Head: Part I
Power of Positivity

They said that it would be easy. That it would get easier if it wasn’t already. I don’t believe life is supposed to be easy. Why would something so fragile be simple to any of us? What is the fun in the simplicity that we all seem to be seeking? You’re lost, but aren’t we all? We are expected to get up, get out, and learn who we are every day, but how are we supposed to do that in a world that is unbelievably cold to the thought of change and difference? How are we supposed to ensure that the world is going to be better for the next generation, the generation of our children, their children, and eventually our children’s children’s children? With the constant hostility in the world toward new things you’ll never truly be able to be who you think you can be, or who you want to be. In a world so conniving, evil, and cruel how is anyone supposed to change anything at all? We make new laws just to create new ones. Something is okay here, but that same something isn’t okay there. What you did today was alright, but what you do tomorrow may not be alright. I really don’t know if anything is going to ever be “alright” in this world. These articles, just like you and me, are a work in progress, there is nothing wrong with progress. If you take one step every day toward what you want out of life or what you want to be in this life, you’ll get there. You may not get there tomorrow, or next week, next month, maybe not even next year, but eventually you’ll have everything that life intended for you. So bare with me while I make what I want to do in life a reality, stick around, it may be worth it.

We are forced into this world with no knowledge as to who we are going to be, who we want to be, or what we will make ourselves. As i said, we are forced here. Our parents decided that they wanted a child, or in some cases, they didn’t choose, we just kind of happened. Accidents. They happen. Sometimes they are good things, other times they’re bad, but they are just another part of life and we have to learn how to deal with them. Our parents put us here without us knowing that we would be faced with so many problems when we grew up. They were able to protect us when we were young, guided us to where we are now, and although you may beg to differ, they created who you have become. But now, times are changing. You may be exactly like them, you may be the complete opposite of them. But no matter who you have become, they helped you realize who you wanted to be. You grew up seeing their struggles and how they parented you, and you determined from those actions how you wanted to see your life pan out. Maybe they had other people helping them raise you, those people watched you learn and grow into who you are too, they got you where you are now just as much as your parents did. There are so many people who influence who you become in life, it isn’t all on you. Up until now I constantly worried about being like someone I did not want to be, I also worried that I would not become who I actually did want to be. I’m still becoming who I want to be, I may be

writing for my own personal benefit at this point, but I find it hard to believe that I am the only one in need of this. This being my thoughts and my fears, which I am sure I am not the only one who has or will experience them. There are so many people in this world, someone is bound to have something in common with me.

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.
