Humanity in itself is flawed. There is no "perfect" human.

The world around us has no form of perfection that truly exist sure, landscapes are beautiful and breathtaking,each with their own niches but are they really perfect are is it their own individual imperfections that make them as magnificent as they are?

We as individuals living on this planet are our own canvases. We start out with a blank slate; unwritten, uncontaminated, untouched, naive. As we move through our lives we start splattering our own spots of paint on our canvas.

Each one of our canvases will be different. Of course there will be similarities but what remains above all are the differences, the mistakes, and the sadness. All this splattering on our canvasses is what makes life interesting and what makes our lives something to wake up to every morning. With out the variety In our life, there would be no need to live as individuals because we would all be writing the same monotone story.

So get out and paint your canvasses!

Don't wait for someone else to splatter it for you or expect that it will just work out on its own. See the progress and change you want to see in yourself so in that way , your painting is exactly what you want it to look like.

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.

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.
