People Change

And it can even be for the better.

People Change.

It's true. People change. You change and I change. It's a part of getting older and it's a part of finding yourself.

Have you ever stopped and thought about who you were a year ago? And how that person is different than the person you are now. New experiences and life lessons create a new you.

Change can be created by many things sometimes it by what's happening in your life. Sometimes by your friends and other times just maturing.

Something that impacted my life in a huge way and that has changed me was becoming single. Single life is a lot different than being in a committed relationship. I find myself doing more of the things I love and thinking about myself more now than I have ever before. I've become more independent. I don't depend on anyone to do anything for me. I love myself more and I've become more confident in the person I am. And if I don't like something then I change it. This change is also impacted by maturity.

I've found that in the past year I've matured so much. And part of this has to do with moving out of my parents house. When I moved out I felt a sense of freedom and responsibility. Sometimes people are afraid of responsibility. But not me. I love being able to do things on my own and not rely on anyone to take care of me. I found a new sense of independence. I use to have to tell my mom whenever I went out and now I don't have to. I do what I want when I want. I make decisions on my own and don't need anyone's approval.

This life is mine and I'm going to live it how I want.

I know what I love and I'm going to go out of my way to do the things that I enjoy.

I care less about what people think. As I've changed I've cared less. I don't care what people think of me. I don't care that I'm not perfect. I have a greater sense of who I am and I strive to be myself and not have anyone influence that. I don't care when people try to put me down. Their opinion are not mine and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Life too short to worry about what other people think. What matters the most is how you view and how you think of yourself.

As I get older and as I mature and change, I see the world in a different way. The world is a beautiful place with beautiful people. There are endless adventure and places to see. Everyone has a story and every person is unique. Human connections are so special but connecting with yourself is important too. I don't know what I want to do with my life yet but I know who I want to be.

I want to be kind and spontaneous. I wanna have fun and be a little reckless but I also want to be respectful and compassionate. I want to live my life to the fullest.

Be open to change and be open to yourself. When you find and love yourself. It won't ever matter who you become.

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.
