Let's Make This Last Forever

Because blink-182 is my inspiration for much of what I do.

Some people choose life, others choose death.

Some wish for their problems to be taken away,

But I find that, in the end, I want them to stay

I know that I struggle and complain about everything,

But that doesn’t mean I hate it and want to quit. No.

I actually love it more than you may believe.

I love all of my struggles. (even though they suck)

I love all of the times my roommates annoy me (even when I want to punch them).

I love managing my stress by crying (even when I wish for the tears to end).

I love sarcastically speaking my mind (when I really mean it).

I love living away from home, (even though it’s not home).

I love life (even with all of the problems).

I can’t deny that. Even if I could, I wouldn’t.

It was given to me, I chose to come here.

I chose to follow through. I chose.

I will never regret this particular choice

Even though it came with many things I should hate.

In all honesty, I don’t love these things.

But what better way to believe it than to say so?

The more you say something, the more you’ll believe it.

“Let’s make this one last forever.”

Can you think of a way that you shouldn’t?

This life is a gift, despite all the bad.

We have the chance to make the most of it,

So why not make it last forever?

Why not choose life?

It’s a much better choice than death.

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.
