You are given two choices. One choice is going back to the past and doing things that you used to do. The second choice is to stick with the present. Sometimes, I think of going back to the past. These days, the world has been changing. The world is getting more dangerous. The world is dealing with a pandemic. There are a lot of changes that we have to do to make the world a better place. However, these days, I think it is better to stick with the present. There are many reasons why sticking with the present is better than going back to the past.

One reason why is that you will have to use a lot of stamina again. You have to retake long and hard tests and exams. You passed them once, but this time, you will fail. What about redoing the whole grade again? You could stand the whole school year, but this time, you cannot stand the whole school year.

Another reason why is being someone that you do not want to be again. In the past, you were immature. You know that being immature is not right. You have worked so hard to change yourself to become a better person. Even if you go back to the past as your present self, you still have to go back to your past self. What happens if you cannot turn back into your present self?

The third reason why is fixing your mistakes will change your future. Some people have some regrets from the past. The regret makes them want to fix the past. Fixing your past will change your fate. You will not get what you have in the present.

No matter how many things have changed in the world, keep going and do not go back.

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.
