I Have Everything I Need In Life, But One Thing Is Missing

Nothing matters if one big thing isn't there.

Have you ever felt that something was missing from your life?

I don’t think I have ever felt like that until now. At this stage of my life, I feel like I have everything, but one certain thing, and I can’t point out what it is.

Growing up, I was fortunate enough to not "want" anything, and anything that I did want, I got. And even now, I still believe that I have it all.

I am blessed to have such caring parents who pay for literally everything I have- phone, car, insurance, rent, etc. I have a good paying job and school is fully paid for through scholarships. And no, I am definitely not trying to brag about these things because I am truly thankful and humble.

You would think that because I have these things being paid for that I shouldn’t have anything to be down about but that’s not the case.

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate these things being paid for, and the nice things that I have, but in the end, it doesn’t really mean anything to me. All of it is materialistic and doesn’t really fill that missing piece that I feel is missing right now.

I love the opportunity of being able to go to college, but sometimes I question, “is it worth it?”

I just feel like maybe what I am missing is something that is outside of college. Maybe an opportunity that I’ve always wanted, like having that chance to travel the world; something exciting.

Being in college, you see the same stuff, hear about the same stuff, do the same stuff. Tailgates and parties and Two Keys will always be fun, however, what else is there? I just feel like I need something new.

I graduate next May and I believe that I lived out the college experience for the most part. I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older or what, but I am happy it’s slowly coming to an end. Things here are just starting to become old and I can’t get with it anymore.

Hopefully, before I leave here, I’ll find that missing piece so that I know I was just being dramatic. But honestly, nothing is showing yet.

I know that this article was all over the place, but hopefully some of y'all can relate. We’ll figure it out. Simple.

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.
