Life Is Too Short To Not Travel

I don't get the holding back of some people.

When you get offered the glorious and exciting opportunity of getting to travel somewhere, why would you even think about holding back? Traveling is so good for the soul. It's the greatest way of "running away" from everyday life.

It's good to do that anyway. It's healthy, and it's great to have a break every once in a while.

I know sometimes money can be the main factor standing between you and Mexico, or you and Disney World. I can understand that, and I also know that we don't just live life to make money, eat, and sleep. I know we can always make money, but we can't always make memories. I also know that we can't just hop on a plane or get it a car and go somewhere for free.

We must work hard for what we want, and eventually, we earn vacations and traveling.

Traveling is a huge part of life, and it shouldn't be taken for granted. Everyone deserves to travel and see the world.

Sometimes, being stuck at home can get a little old. You wake up, go to work or school, eat, shower, sleep, and repeat. You wish for something temporarily different. Change. Good change.

What are the unknowns here? What is so bad about hopping on a plane and facing your fears? It's all worth it when you get there, and it will definitely be worth it in the end.

I don't get the holding back of some people.

I absolutely hate airplanes, but I'm willing to get on one to make amazing memories. I'm willing to face my fears of going up 35,000 feet in the air to see Cinderella's Castle or to visit Mexico for the first time or to put my feet in the Pacific Ocean.

Life is too short to not travel. You'll be missing out if you choose to stay home. You shouldn't spend your life just in one place. There is always home to go back to, but there are millions of places to explore and go to.

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.
