Is It Alive?

When did it change?

Is It Alive?

There is so much to be afraid of in this world. This world is a scary place. Especially with what America has come to. What happened to the American Dream? So much has changed along the years, makes me think many of Americans truthfully forgotten what the American Dream is and what it is suppose to be.

There is not much freedom in this world including safety. This world has taken a turn to the point where no one can feel safe at a concert, movie, or school event without feeling fear and what may happen. There has been so much change in this world. So many people want that American Dream back. The feeling of ideals of freedom, equality, and opportunity to be held in every American. The only thing Americans care about is their possessions, which is one of many reasons to make me think the American Dream might be dead. Or has it just shifted?

Not many people even have values anymore. America has taken a shift.

Originally, the American Dream was every American has the chance to succeed in success, through hard work. With that being said, the American Dream was once alive with Americans going for what they believed in. Everyone has a chance to achieving success.

Now a days, with that being said, the American Dream has a complete different meaning. It is to focus on what matters. Maybe creating a better life for you and spending time with family and friends.

With that being said, there even a way to get the American Dream back? Is it dead?

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.
