“Some people are only meant to be apart of your life for a season.”


Isn’t it strange how you can see someone every single day and how a person can be so important in your life, but then all the sudden, you look back and realize they aren’t a part of your life anymore…

It’s crazy to think how someone, who knew your darkest secrets, your deepest fears, and the core of who you are, is today a distant stranger.


Friendships and relationships. That’s how they work sometimes.

We move on. We get carried away in our busy lives. Some personalities are just opposites.


However, sometimes we miss the memories.

You remember the good moments, you remember the bad.

Sometimes, we get a chance to reconnect.

But… you realize it will never be the same.


It is the realization of how different we have become and the different paths of life we live.


The truth is.. some people aren’t meant to stay forever.

We may bitterly ask, why were they even here in the first place then?

Well, maybe they were in your life for a specific purpose. Maybe to teach you something? To make memories? To help you overcome? To strengthen and encourage you?

And now that time has passed.


Learning to LET GO.

It is okay to grow apart. It is okay for a relationship to change. It's all about letting go….

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
