Embracing The Seasons of Changes In Our Lives

Sometimes transitions are simple, and some are not

There is something refreshing in the transitions that all of us go through life, in fact, if you think about it there are a lot of aspects of ourselves that are being shaped and molded into something new each and every day. The things we read, the music we listen to, the films we watch, the people we associate with all shape us, and there is a part of us that are aware of this, but we try not to notice until the final stage of the transition has completed.

Stopping for a brief moment, we will find ourselves thinking about what we were like a week ago, a month ago, even a year ago, and we will notice that there is a huge difference how we change as people. There is a line in one of the most famous songs that comes out of the 90s titled, "One Headlight" by The Wallflowers that makes the statement, "Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same". When you think about this in the context of what we are talking about then we can all agree that we have this weird transition where we are unsure of who were are and where we are going.

While it can be daunting at times, it is also quite invigorating. There is something beautiful in this chaotic mess of trying to figure ourselves out, figure out where our passions lay, what path we are meant to take, and finding the answers and solutions to the questions that are burning deep inside.

As 2021 continues to take its baby steps into springtime all of us are going to find ourselves in a world where things around us are going to change drastically in more ways than one, and while we are hesitant and unsure, there is bound to be a silver lining. There is always going to be positives and negatives in life, and while this pandemic is still the negative aspect of it, all of us are going to find the positives that are lurking beneath.

Maybe you will find different aspects of yourself that even your own family never knew. Maybe you will find a passion or a hobby that you enjoy. And maybe, just maybe there might be someone out there in the midst of the chaos that was meant to walk by your side, and be a companion.

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.
