A Family Vacation

Family is forever.

This week begins a family vacation. Family and vacation are two words that will always have a special place in my heart.

Family. For me, family can be defined as surrounding yourself with people who care, acknowledge, and love you. Once a person is surrounded with a supportive family, they become better people. There is laughter that's brought up, memories that are shared, and unforgettable moments that are cherished. Another reason why family is so critical is that at the end of the day, they're everything. They're the ones who will always be at your side. The ones that will make sure you keep your head up. The ones that will truly love you forever.

Vacation. When hearing this word I automatically think of palm trees and the ocean waves crashing onto the fine sand. With vacation there is plenty of time and money put into it; although everyone goes on vacation to relax, I think vacation is a way to escape your worries... until reality hits in a few days later. Furthermore, vacation is a happy thing. Something that usually brings smiles and sunshine to a person, well at least that's how I feel about it. The way you can lay back and forget all your worries for a few days or so is honestly wonderful.

You're probably wondering what these two words really have in common, right? Well, from words stated previously, both conjure feelings of happiness and warmth. Family vacations are something that are irreplaceable, nothing can take away the amazing memories you've made from them.

On this family vacation that's just begun I cannot wait to see what my family and I experience together. Things that will only make all of us bond and grow together; all of the young, middle aged, and elderly. I'm so glad I get to share this time with you.

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.
