"My My, Hey, Hey."

Writing is easy, surviving is easy, living is not.

"My My, Hey, Hey."
Melissa Joy

Ah, welcome. You have made it to my page, basically your little therapy sessions where you can delve into articles discussing almost anything you can name.

I have a knack for writing, it comes easy to me, it is my natural skill. Give me a paper and a pen, ask for some advice- I will give it to you. But when I need it, I find myself speechless. I can't find the words or skills I need when I am dealing with something, and if I could tell you how hard it is being there for everyone, and feeling alone as ever, all at the same time, I would never be able to explain it.

Social media is deceiving, the same with blogs/and/or videos people make. We can perceive it as though we have it all together. We can make you feel like we are confident, we can act like we have the rest planned out, but little do you know, I am still searching for the determination to get through the day. I am still wondering what next week will hold for me. My map is not finished, so I will only start with the small paths first.

This is my weak post, the post where I do not have any or even a little advice to give to anyone today. The post where you just let yourself feel, the one where you can forget about everything else and just work on yourself and the emotions. Life is full of waves, never stops. I truly hope one day I will come to my seashore; but until then, I am going to keep going. My map includes many oceans I still need to swim, and many bridges I still need to walk across.

I need your support, I need my readers to understand they are not alone, but most of all, I need to love myself again, the same way I love others.

The worst thing I ever did in this life was fade away from myself.

"It's better to burn out, than to fade away."

With all of my love to all of you, Mel.

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.
