My Life Isn't Together And That Is Okay

My Life Isn't Together And That Is Okay
Megan Ferguson

"Do you know what you want to do with your major?"

And the stress sets in. I like my major and I can guess where I want to go, but in reality I have no idea what I am doing post-graduation.

As much as I try to scramble around and get things done, my life isn't together and that is okay.

I am in a constant state of scattered mindedness. It may just be this semester, but it may just be how life is. Lately, I have been thinking that post graduation will be better, but is that really true?

The planner that I am I pretty much have my life planned out, but life throws curveballs at you. As much as I wish I could plan it out, unexpected things happen that make your life crazy, and that is just the way it goes.

In this day in age it is so easy to compare your life to others you see on social media. People put their best front on social media, and that's fine, but you never know what is going on in someone's life. Just because it looks like someone has it all together, doesn't mean it is not okay for you to be not together. Everyone is at different points in their life and there is no reason that we should compare our completely differently lives to one another.

But it is so easy.

It is a terrible habit of mine, and I am sure many more. I constantly have to remind myself that I am a different person and I live a different life and that is okay.

This goes along with being comfortable in your own skin. As I am learning to do that it is a day to day battle. There are constant reminders that I am not the perfectly sculpted girl enjoy her time at the beach, and I am not the girl who who goes to the gym 6 days a week. I am not the girl traveling the world with not a care in the world. I am Megan Ferguson and.

I do not have my life together in any way, maybe one day it will be, but for now it is a crazy mess that is always changing. I am not wasting my time anymore worrying about why my life can't be better, but enjoying the wonderful life that I do have.

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.
