Let Me Go

I've been starting anew.

Love lost,

Not for intimate relationships,

but for myself.

That's what I would've said four years ago.

I struggle with understanding my strengths.

Everyone around me is doing something with their life.

I'm trying to build mine.

Not sure what to do so I write.

I write, study, make coffee, then I sleep

What else can I do?

It's not like a tv show.

You don't automatically get a job by simply having a nice conversation with a CEO then BAM.

You're in.

Trying so hard to find my niche.

Most people already found theirs.

I guess I'm still trying.

It's not a bad thing to try.

So I go outside, sigh, soak in the beauty of what the world has to offer,

Take a deep breath, then exhale.

Get your mind off of the pressure.

Listen to some tunes or listen to a podcast.

I've recently listened to more podcasts than I do music.

It's inspiring because some podcasts are about,

Writer's block or finding self-love.

I remember I lacked positivity,

self-esteem and confidence.

I didn't love myself at all.

I wished I was someone else.

Being in college made me realize,

I'm not so bad.

I can do something.

I can write, not sure If I do it well,

I can strategize and think creatively

Sometimes I can surprise myself.

There's more to myself than I show others.

My social anxiety has decreased, at least a little bit.

My confidence is better.

Guess letting go of negative people and environment really helps.

Know what else helps?

Youtube!

I always seek advice from there and it really helps my organization skills, self-confidence and there's so much to write about and explore.

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.
