Nap Time, Coloring, Playing...
www.constantinoubrosproperties.com

I'm 21 years old and I'm not afraid to admit that I still enjoy napping, coloring, drawing with chalk, watching Disney movies (and of course watching them multiple times), playing hopscotch, and swinging on a swing set! I don't know why people think that once you hit a certain age you have to be all "business" and you can't do some of the things you did when you were younger. Do you think that you're going to be made fun of if someone finds out that you do these things or that you're somehow no longer in the "adult" category?

I think that you'd find that more people enjoy coloring and especially napping (now that they're older and can appreciate it more) now. Coloring is considered a calming activity....and we all know napping is too. But in all seriousness, it can really benefit your health. Plus, it's ok to embrace the kid inside you again, we shouldn't have to loose it in the first place. I think some of us have truly forgotten what it's like to be young and it makes me sad because we have millions of young people and children in the world who need our help, but we are too busy with our everyday mundane lives to get out there and have fun and help them grow. Even if that means finding the kid inside you again first, I encourage you to do it and, if you're able to, do whatever it takes to get it to come out. Babysit, actually hang out with your younger siblings or your cousins/nieces and nephews, or even if you have to, travel to bring out the adventure in you again. Follow what your heart tells you....in case you haven't noticed, kids tend to do that a lot.

Don't be afraid to embrace your inner Peter Pan (Disney reference...sorry, I had to!). Color. Nap. Play hopscotch. Draw with chalk. Fight some pirates. Be creative. It's something kids are so very good at. So yes, I am 21 years old and I enjoy napping, coloring, drawing with chalk, watching Disney movies, playing hopscotch, and swinging on a swing set...why don't 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.
