I Get Lost

Living in the moment.

Breathe In… Breathe out… It’s good to do this sometimes. Just FYI.

Okay, now that we got that over with, here goes:

Most people plan their days ahead, set a menu, and make sure they know everything that's to come. I wish I was like that, and I try to be like that... Epic fail!

Though frankly I think it would be rather boring if I knew what I was having for each meal and knew where I was going every day. I let life surprise me, and one day it may make take me to Honolulu or something- who knows!

It's fun getting lost in life, singing along to the radio, and not knowing what will come next! Maybe one day I'll be working and the next I'll get fired. These things happen and they're what make life so enthralling! We all have a story and even writers have no idea how it will end. All we can do is read the story- but not in the dark, cuz that'll ruin your eye-sight (If anyone reading this knows if this fact is true, please let me know know).

I can sometimes go about my life as I know it, and then I realize that I've forgotten everyone. I don't mean to do it, I just get absorbed in my work until someone pulls me out. It's the quality of an introvert. Although I'd like to think I'm an extroverted introvert. I like being spoiled as an introvert by not having to deal with people, but I do enjoy social interaction and connecting with people (but don't tell that part to anyone who isn't reading this!).

Anyways, it can be scary not knowing what will happen next or if you can trust the universe to lead you to a good place. But I believe that we live in a good world where everyone wants to be happy and everyone likes me (so obviously they live you too, cuz I can feel that you are way cooler than I am).

Maybe if we would say hi to and smile at convicts they'll forget for a second they are troubled and they'll leave the dark side....

Yes, people have often told me that I need to be serious and realize the seriousness in life, but I just don't live like that. I don't want to feel the pain of others and realize that they really are suffering (if I can't do anything about it). Because if my nose hurts, punching yours won't help. When I do go out of myself and realize the suffering in life, I feel the pain. I feel it deeper than you would and I don't know what to do with it.

I just can't help anyone when I'm in pain. But if I'm happy, maybe I can cheer someone up who was hurting and give them the internal strength to make it through another day. Maybe, just maybe... (A woman, or man, can dream- right?)

So yes, some people are stronger than I am. They don't shiver when it's cold or get nightmares from the news. But I cry with the rain and dance with the birds, and try not to feel down.

So to all you strong people out there, we each have a place in the world and your strength inspires many. I could definitely use some of it in my life! So keep being you and doing what you do! Let's rock the world together and help each other out!! Let's leave the world a better place for our children and grandchildren! (After that, I can't guarantee too much, cuz...)

Here's a tidbit of information so that you can gain even more from this article (wow, this is just the best deal ever!): If you live in New York, 31% of the electricity that you use comes from nuclear fuel... I just found this on Google and I never knew it before, so cooll!!

See you all next week!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

WP content

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.
