To The Person Who Doesn't Know

It's OK to not know something, as long as you know you're not alone.

To The Person Who Doesn't Know
Harman Abiwardani

To the person who doesn't know. The person who doesn't know where they are going in life. Who doesn't know what to do. To the person with confusion on top of confusion. This is for you. We've all been there. At that point where you start to question everything you've ever known. One small question turns into another and another and before soon you don't have an answer for anything. You are not alone in this. Remember that.

Things happen. Life happens. Just remember that life also moves on. It doesn't just stop and stay there waiting for you to mess up again. It moves on, leaving you to catch up on your own. And you have to run to catch up.

You don't know how you're gonna make it or how you're supposed to catch up. That's fair, but don't let that hold you back. Don't let those questions hold you up as you struggle through it all. You don't know what you're gonna do, but that doesn't matter. You don't have to know. You just need to breathe and remember you're not alone. Someone, somewhere, just like you is struggling to catch up. Asking if it's even worth it anymore. And even though it might not seem like it at the time, let me tell you it is so worth it.

It might not help that our entire lives we have been asked what we are going to do with our lives and who we're going to be when we grow up. From an early age, we start to question and while then it might be beneficial then. as we grow up those questions aren't so innocent anymore and it's harder to find answers for them.

You don't know how to respond to those questions anymore. We're not five years old anymore dreaming about being an astronaut or a ballerina or the president. We're questioning how to be happy, how to live in a world full of darkness. And we're still being questioned about what we're gonna do with our lives.

We don't know. It's as simple as that, you just don't know. You don't know where you are going to be 5-10 years from now. You don't know what you are going to do with your life or who you are gonna be when you grow up. You don't know how to get done all you have to do.

To the person who doesn't know, know this, you're not alone. There is someone like you who doesn't know either. You could simply not know what to have for dinner or what to wear. It could grow into what do you need to do next or how are you gonna finish all your work. But you will and you can. You might have to run to catch up but you'll always be able to get there.

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.
