Do you ever look back to your past and remember all the amazing things you use to play with and the imaginary games you and your friends would play for hours on end? Or the trips you took with your family that at that time felt like the most amazing trip you would ever be on. You place yourself in a happy place or time in order to feel Nostalgia. This sentimental affection is the way our grown up selves can look back on the past and remember the blissful moments that we felt like would last forever.

Or even think about your everyday life currently everything we do, everyone we meet, and what path we choose to take we are destined to have special nostalgic moments. You hear a song that brings you back to your middle school sleepover with all your friends, what about the chocker necklace that’s making a come back bring me way back to my middle school fashion. It’s those small fragments of our past memory that we often forget with the new and exciting things happening in our lives. However when we do flash back the memory is so clear it’s like your almost reliving it right there it’s truly magical.

After doing a small amount of research the Disney Parks were the most mentioned nostalgic memory said by people of all different ages. Weather it was a song or an action that brings you back for that moment nothing else in the world matters but this beautiful reminiscing opportunity. Take a moment and look back to your childhood, and see what beautiful and exciting things you can remember, once you done I promise you you’ll miss being young. No cares in the world other then who your play date was going to be or what mom packed for lunch. Take advantage of these beautiful memories and call on them in your time of sorrow and loneliness it will bring you peace knowing good is always just a memory away!

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.

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.
