Is Our Time Really Limited?

The closing walls and the ticking clocks, gonna come back and take you home

Is Our Time Really Limited?

I've been going to classes all day and unfortunately it is raining. I don't mind the rain, but I do

mind it when I have to walk across campus and my shoes are completely soaked. Anyways, I'm

not here to rant about school or the rain or even rant in general. I have been thinking a lot

recently, about school and the future. I've also been thinking about this time crunch some

people seem to be on. There is a certain age you're expected to finish school at and even a

certain age to be married, well I mean in brown culture especially. It got me thinking, do we as

people sometimes happen to limit how much time we have to do certain things?

I know life is short and of course our time here on earth is limited because not to be negative or

anything, but it is expected that everyone will die. Whether this be a sudden death driving back

from the movies or a disease like cancer that was dragged out for years and eventually, cancer

won.

We go to school our whole lives, most of us who have the means to go. We surround ourselves

with friends and family, we deal with problematic ass people, we hear about victims of rape

through the news, we even get to witness the era of new idiotic president!

Honestly speaking, life is constantly moving, but are we moving with it or just trying to keep

up as best we can? Do we feel the need to race against life, somehow get ahead and beat it?

Are we as a society ready to accept flaws in life?

See, the funny thing is I always ask these questions, but even I have no clue.

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.
