Taylor Swift Is Right, We Need To Calm Down

But I've learned a lesson that stressin' and obsessin' 'bout somebody else is no fun

Taylor Swift you need to calm down

I think lately, we could all learn a thing or two about calming down. What better way to showcase that than Taylor Swifts new song, "You Need To Calm Down". We're all so caught up on things that we are offended by and don't like, that we are not even enjoying the things that we do.

"And I ain't tryna mess with your self-expression"

We're so obsessed with what everyone else is doing and what it is that they're doing that we don't agree with. It is definitely time we start letting people enjoy their life and enjoy our own. Who are you to take someone else's happiness away? Is it worth sacrificing your own?

"You need to calm down, you're being too loud"

Instead of speaking up against someone else, what if we spoke up with them? Imagine the world we could live in if everyone was a littler nicer to each other. If we came together for a common cause instead of picking each other apart of about ones that don't even matter in the greater scheme of things. Didn't your momma ever tell you if you didn't have anything nice to say, to not say it at all?

"Like can you not step on our gowns?"

I use to focus so much on what other people were doing and whether or not I liked it or not, but I realized that it was taking away from my own happiness. Other people are really just out there living their life and I have no place to make judgments about it. I have tried switching up my mindset and focusing on the good and positive things, what I do like and what I do want to be involved in. I think we should all strive to have a mindset like that, we will be a lot happier in the end.

"We all know now we all got crowns"

If someone else is living a life you don't agree with, guess what? It's not your life and you don't have to life it. We're allowed to be happy and do the things that make us happy, unapologetically. Calm down and focus on your own life and happiness, instead of taking away someone else's.

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.
