Living Life Accident-Prone

Living life as an accident-prone individual is a daily struggle.

Sometimes, it's inevitable and we quite honestly can't figure out how we always manage to get hurt. Anyone who is prone to accidents can relate to this. We literally do not know why it has to be us, but we'll continue on, rolling with it. As I type this, I have a huge bandage wrapped around my hand because (my first day with a box cutter) at a new job I've had for about a week, go figure, I sliced my hand open.



When you're out with friends and your accident prone self decides it's time to get hurt and ruin the fun... It literally sometimes prevents us from leaving the house. I had a bad experience with bowling once (I broke two of my fingers), so my friends know not to invite me to bowling night anymore.



When walking through the house, it seems like all the table corners and feet of furniture finds our week spots (extremities, knees, funny bones that are not funny, and pretty much all of our body). Just makes us want to scream "REALLY?!"



When we're laying in bed on our phone, contently scrolling through social media and our phone falls square onto our face... That pain is enough to bring tears.



When you're trying to get comfortable and you go to pull the covers up, but instead your grip fails and you punch yourself in the face...



When at the workplace and even though you follow all safety guidelines, you still manage to hurt yourself somehow. Accidents are just so easy for us.



At the end of the day, we all just wonder "why us?"



We just can't help fate. From tripping over our own feet, to falling up the stairs, we've been there, done that. Sometimes our family and friends suggest we just be put in a bubble for our own safety. But, hey, giant hamster balls seem super cool.

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.
