Letter Eleven: Future Self

I'm more short term, then long term

Letter Eleven: Future Self
pintrest

Welcome to letter eleven. So far, you have seen some pretty low times in my life.

My career choices, my life. Everyone expects me to have a plan.

Big shocker, I am not the "planning" type. I am most definitely, however, the go-with-the flow type. I DO NOT have a plan for my life and I think that's why people are so ashamed of me right now. Like, who doesn't have a plan for the future? This girl. I don't want to be married, I don't want kids, I don't want a lot of things but that doesn't make me the Anti-Christ. I think the reason why people think I don't have a clue in life is because I am covered in tattoos, not like head to toe, but like from here to here. I have piercings, and I think they look super cool and I have no problem showing them off. But, I don't fit into corporate America, suits and ties don't intrigue me. I am more of a sweatpants and tank tops or skinny jeans and band shirts. There's usually no in-between. Maybe that's why I feel so left out of downtown in all their suit and ties.

Because I am constantly judged for not being constant. I get bored at one job, if I do the same thing over and over again, I will be super bored and less likely to do 100%. I get it, I'm 21, I should have a plan. Well I don't, I don't see much in my future, I'll worry about that when I get there. Am I there yet? I bounce around from job to job to keep me excited, to keep my life from molding into a blur. Sure, it doesn't look excellent on a resume, but I need spontaneous decisions in my life. It keeps shit interesting to be honest. I feel like I'm having a mid-life crisis, you know when you want a sudden change or do something cool. My midlife crisis came at 21 and trust me, it makes me wanna punch a wall because I'm stuck between being too old to do things and too young to know better.

So three cheers to a -maybe- future. Let's see what tomorrow brings first.

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.
