You Never Stop Finding Yourself

I don't care what anyone says, finding yourself is a life-long journey.

You Never Stop Finding Yourself

Do you ever find yourself sitting in your car, playlist on shuffle, and putting all the weight of your fate in the next song? Do you start driving with no aim in destination, but just to get away?

We're always looking for something more, as Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper once sang in a far more eloquent way than how I'm writing this. But, that's not always a bad thing. You should motivate yourself to find more than just the mundane routine of the same old crowd, scenery, and happenings. You're more than the ground you're standing on, and there's more to you than how people perceive you.

You're a pencil in a sharpener, constantly shedding layers until you've resolved to your finest point. I wasn't going to go for the obvious onion reference, because that's been played out...ahem, Michael Myers. Anyhow, you're constantly on the path to another chapter in your life. You're in transition to constant change.

One would argue that people never change. To which I say, people hardly ever change. People have the ability to change, but on their own account. They must be seeking said change, improvements, or opportunities. People change because they desire change. They don't change willingly on unpredictable circumstances. People are reluctant to change when it's not on their own.

To continue, people constantly are flicking through chapters in their lives. Things are ever changing.

If people don't expect you to change, they're dead mistaken. It's good to morph into different things, especially if its who you want to be. Don't be fearful of change and continue to find yourself. What you want now is not necessarily what you'll want later, so don't get too caught up in the tribulations of right now. Live in the moment, and take risks every time you can. It's not fair to you to be too afraid to get on and change.

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.
