Love Where You're At

The popular topic right now is the election. It fills every news feed and every channel, it's the center of every argument and debate, and it's turning our world into a chaotic mess. Seeing people lose all faith in humanity and this world because the person they didn't want to win, won is what breaks my heart. I agree with most people who think neither Trump nor Clinton are fit to run our country. But guess what, they were our options and at this point all we can do is accept it. Instead of being upset about what happened, why don't we embrace what is to come. Why don't WE be the difference that we wish to see in the world. Love every race, every gender, every culture. Love gays, straights, bisexuals. Love those that view the world through a completely different set of eyes than you do. Love the fact that our world is filled with diversity and we are all ALLOWED to be who we wish to be. Trump may now "rule over" the US but God rules over all, and that is how I will sleep easy tonight and every night knowing that my fate is in his hands. Not trump's, not Clinton's. This my friends is every reason to love where you're at. This place is not our home people! Remember that!

Everybody in the world has a different story. Some people are at a point in their lives where they are the happiest they've ever been and are completely secure with themselves. Others are at a place of confusion, they are searching for who they are and trying to figure out their future. And some are at a dark place facing things that they never thought they would have to go through. No matter what category you fall under, or where you are in your life at this point, learn to love where you're at. Even if you are struggling to reach a goal, or feel like you are so far away from true happiness that you are close to giving up. No matter what is going on in your life, or what you have, or who is there for you, learn to love where you're at. We spend so much time saying "oh I will finally be happy with my life if this happens" or "if this person loves me then I'll love myself". Living that way will give other people the power to control your happiness. Learn to create your own happiness every day by loving where you're at. This doesn't mean that we can't cry, or get angry, or grieve and mourn things. Loving where you're at means accepting the pain, the heartache, the bad times, the victories, and the blessings. It means having faith that what is to come is so much better than what is. I know this is much easier said than done, but with practice it'll seem almost impossible to not love every minute of the life we were given. Every person in this world will experience difficulties and heartache but we are all also blessed by the knowledge that one day we will be in a place far better than we could ever imagine. That is every reason to love wherever you're at on your journey and to look forward to the great things ahead.

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.
