A Quote That Inspires Me To Chase My Dreams
We Heart it

My laptop is literally like Hoarders: Buried Alive;

I think I can call myself a bit of a hoarder in that aspect because I've had my current laptop since I was a freshman in college (I'm currently a senior), and I've collected a fair share of files. I was cleaning my files on my laptops like old papers and such and I stumbled across a piece of writing from like 5 years ago. I mean I was like 16 about five years ago so how that got on my laptop is a complete mystery to me to this very day.

I assumed by the quote on top of the writing was what inspired to write this short inquistive piece. But it's not just the quote that just inspired me recently, it's what I wrote underneath the quote. In a way, it's a short story but in other ways it's just something to think about when you're out there making big life decisions.

I'm pretty sure i'll be using this whenever I need some sort of insight. I'll have to hand it to myself I was actually pretty wise.

"Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?"

- Rose Kennedy

Did you know after a storm that birds sing? Each bird has a different rhythmic tune to sing and every song has a different meaning that makes it special. Perhaps humans should have their own little song to sing after a storm like a carefree bird.

But humans aren't like birds. We as humans are tethered down to something that holds us back from doing what we really want to pursue in life. Birds are free to do as they please. Nothing holds them back from doing what they want. What holds us back from doing that one thing to make us truly happy?

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.
