Letter To My Future Self
Rachael Stewart

Just so I know it is me, I will start off with saying how much you are still obsessed with Tim Tebow, even though he has not played an NFL games in a hot minute.

So now you know it is really you, let's get started on what I want for you to accomplish in your future. They are not your typical normal goals that one would set. This is more like rules that I want you to follow and abide by in your everyday life. This rules will help you live and better life and will make you a much happier and more relaxed person.

First, you have a tendency just to let people walk all over you and take advantage. If someone is doing something that you do no appreciate, or talking down to you, I want you actually to speak up and use your voice that you were provided. As you usually just sit there and you keep everything in is not going to change anything. All it is going to do is make matters worse. So I want you to for now on, is speak you mind. But this one is a little tricky. You do not want to say things that you either do not really mean, or say things that could be misinterpreted. You for sure have to think before you say things, process what you are going to say, and then let it out. You can still be nice to everyone, but only to the ones who are nice to you!

Second, I want you to have a little more confidence in yourself. You never give yourself the credit you deserve. You can accomplish so many things. But at times you just have this one loud voice in your head that doubts yourself. Stop listening to them! You are an amazing person who can do anything. All you have to do is put your mind into it and get it done. I mean, just look back and look at what you already have accomplished just in nineteen years of your life, and then look in the future and look at how many more amazing years you will get to experience. You can do anything you want to!

Lastly, I want you to keep that smile on your face, stay positive! You always look at situations through a different light and always know how you make the best out of things. Keep that up. It keeps you happy, and it will keep others around you just as happy. If you go into something with a negative attitude then, of course, it will be a horrible experience. So with that being said. You will want to live the rest of your life being happy. It will make life so much easier. Stay happy Rach!

So as you live the rest of your life. I want you to follow these rules in your everyday life. You will be a better person in the end with no doubt!

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.
