To The People That Just Don't Know

We all are facing something we think is bigger then us

To The People That  Just Don't Know
bowleswyer.com

This is for the people that spend their days just going through the motions. For the ones that agree to whatever people say not because they don't care but because they don't have a opinion of their own about the topic in question. For the ones the spend nights wide awake in anxiety attacks because they see others around them finding what they want from life. This is for the ones that are in a constant state of not knowing.

Trust me I know where you're at because I'm there too. Some days I think, "Okay so this is going to work" and others it's like I'm a Target cashier on black Friday; complete chaos. I guess this typical with senior year starting in a month (how??). Trying to narrow down colleges and finding the one college that is going to allow me to go the farthest with my career interest, which I decided to change within the last year.

This is isn't going to be a rant about my crisis, because I'm not the only one facing something. We all are facing something we think is bigger then us.

Those nights when you stay up until four the next morning because you are just so stressed out everything going on in your life; work, family, friends, future. It's all in your head. Our mind has this thing of playing a dirty tricks on us and makes us believe that everything we see or hear is fifteen times worse then what it actually is. Nothing is ever really as bad as it seems.

So you've out of touch with the people around you lately. Doesn't mean you are going to end up living alone in studio apartment with nine cats to keep you company your whole life. So you feel like your spending your whole life doing the same things day after day. Doesn't mean your life won't change one day.

For most people the live and do the exact same thing, in the same town, for eighteen years and then suddenly they are thrown into a completely different world.

So don't worry your chance is coming, be patient. Enjoy the time you have before it happens because you never know when it's coming. Whether it's tomorrow or a year from now, make sure you aren't wasting your time stressing out over what will happen or when it will happen. Live in the moment and don't take the small things for granted.

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.
