I have to put out new content by Thursday. I should probably spit something out early so I can get it out the way. I would, except I have nothing to write about. Let me just calm down, there has to be something I can write about. Let me think…

I could write a “To the girl who…” article! Those titles just pull the reader in. So clever and cute. I bet no one will be writing an article that starts off as “To the girl who….” Wait. I just saw like five last week. I think they’re becoming too mainstream, and if I want views I need to be clever. People are going to get tired of reading those.

I could write about Thanksgiving!!!! It’s relevant, trending, and everyone loves Thanksgiving. Honestly, I am not really in a festive fall mood. Don’t get me wrong, I am thankful and excited for this holiday and the people I’ll be surrounded with. But since I’m not with my family and friends this Thanksgiving, I think it would depress me more than make me happy. I have to be in the zone while I’m sitting by the fire, looking at my crazy family, and smiling in the midst of the chaos. Instead, I have doing nothing but homework, feeling lonely and jealous of everyone who gets to see their family. Oh gosh, I’m getting emotional just thinking about it. I need a moment.

What if, I wrote some religious content? I go to a Christian school and I’m Christian. It makes perfect sense that I would want to use my talent to glorify God. Normally, if I have the urge to write something religious, it would have been placed on my heart for a while now. I should take a while to be silent and let God reveal what He wants me to write about. Nothing. I got nothing. Interesting. Welp, there goes that idea. Not this week, folks.

I could write about something that has been booming in politics lately which is…..I don’t know I’m really not into politics. The only time I’ve ever been into politics is during the election, and I am DEFINITELY NOT writing about the election. That was so 2 weeks ago. People have destroyed that topic, and it’s so controversial. I’d rather not receive hate tweets for my opinion. I’ll keep that to myself.

I could write about how much I love schoo-yeah, no. No need to lie to my audience.

Well, it seems I literally have nothing to write about. This is embarrassing. Ehhh, I’ll think of something soon. I mean, it’s not like I have a deadline to meet or people counting on me. Until then, I shall nap. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. WAIT. I could write about when I have nothing to write about! No, that’s stupid.

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.
