It's The Little Things In Life

Think about it...

It's The Little Things In Life

This week I initially wanted to write something about music: what it means to me, the importance of it in this world. The power and hold it can have on us. But this weekend changed my thought process.

There was still music playing (obviously lol), however what happened over the course of the night was different.

As we all know, this past weekend was Halloween Weekend. That meant parties and costumes. A party was the setting for why this week's article is happening.

I do not mean to give a play by play of the night. I mean if you want one come up and ask me about it sometime.

Here, on this platform, I want to discuss the idea of the little things in life.

The main basis for this piece is new friends: friends, people who you get along with, can have a fun night on the town with, watch hours and hours of Netflix with, etc.

My friends continue to surprise me. I make new ones every year it seems. No friend is thought of in a different light than the other. Some are seen more, others talked to more, some I see randomly but time apart doesn't seem real.

This past weekend, two new friends of mine stood by me. They sparked the courage already inside of me.

Courage, the will inside us all to try do things, be daring, be brave. Despite my body shaking randomly, the rush of adrenaline drove me forward.

Next was the simple act of having fun based on who I was with. The times had with friends are the ones we remember. No drugs or alcohol or otherwise needs to blind us. When we are with our friends, we can make any moment fun.

And I don't know about you, but I personally want to remember those moments and be around for quite awhile to have more.

Little things in life: friends, courage, sober, clean, fun, happy

Next week I'll be sure to share my personal tie with music. Many of the small moments in my life involve music. So there you go, another little thing to think about.

This article is more of a stream of consciousness, but I hope you still enjoyed it.

Take time in your day to see the little things that make this life so special :)

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.
