Moving Forward
Dr. Odd

When is it time to just let go? Do you ever have problems with someone, and just can’t seem to solve them? Problems that just seem constant? You know that if you keep arguing with them, it isn’t going to go the way you feel it should. When is it time to be the bigger person and decide that it isn't worth arguing over anymore? I feel like as people we unknowingly create expectations for close people in our lives and kind of want them to treat you a certain way and make you a priority and when it isn't always that way it creates an issue that is most likely not going to get fixed because you can't expect anything from anyone. But at what point does that register? And is it doing any good for us to continue to stress over it while the other person is sleeping like a baby and living their life normally? I think sometimes you just need to let situations go, and sometimes people, just for your own sanity. Even if the person is incredibly important to you, it's not worth being unhappy. When do we finally start to put ourselves first and tell ourselves, "Hey, do something for you and let it go." Yeah, at first it sucks because you still want to fix things with the person, but after awhile you notice you sleep better, you stress less, and overall just feel better. Whatever you were upset about just goes away. Everyone grows up and starts living for themselves. We have to learn to put ourselves first so we can say happy in the long run.

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.
