Happy 2019, fam! Can you wrap your head around how fast time is passing by? It feels like just yesterday it was 2016, the best year of everyone's life. There was something in the air that year that made everyone remember it over the rest. The music was live, the people were happy, everyone was vibin'. 2016 was an entire mood. Period.

Now here we are. It's 2019 and you're on either side of the spectrum. You're either lost, confused and uncertain about what the year is going to bring or you're beyond excited and anxious to see what is next to come. Me? I am definitely the latter. I am hyped.

At the end of 2018, I noticed a transition in my mentality. As cliche and repetitive as this may sound, my transition into a more optimistic and positive state of mind really proved to be worth it. I started seeing my hard work finally paying off. Even in the little things. I noticed my entire persona to be happier. I started believing in myself more. Even my friends noticed a change. I became more confident in myself. Something I never thought I would comfortably be able to say. With the shift in mentality, making the effort to see things positively and not stress out over the dumb (excuse my language) sh*t, my entire world started to change.

I want you to take 2019 on with the same energy I wrapped 2018 up with. I promise you it is crazy.

I thoroughly believe that we, as individuals, are connected through our energy. Not only with each other, but with our entire environment. The vibes we put out and the energy we send are the same vibes and waves of energy we will receive, if not better.

I want you to promise me (or yourself) one thing. Flick the switch and make the change as you begin the new year. Change your mindset and try and think positively about everything. Speak into the universe the things you want to accomplish, the types of people you want to meet, and the goals you have (both personal and professional). Believe that you can do it. It takes three weeks to form a habit. Look at these first three weeks in January as your boot camp. After that, it'll all become second nature and your path to a happier life will be paved.

Now I know, this sounds cliche. I hate cliches but this, my friends, is the real deal. Believe in yourself and take this year on with nothing but bright lights and positivity. Big things are coming your way.

Happy New Years!

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.
