New Year's Resolutions Are Never Stupid, And You Should Never Let Anyone Tell You Otherwise

Ahh, the new year. It is a very exciting time for most, and for many, it comes with a few to-dos for the year to better them as a person. A lot of people come out of the woodwork online and complain about resolutions, saying how they are dumb and if you want to better yourself you should just do it instead of using the new year as motivation. I'm here to tell you that's bullshit. You should use whatever you want as motivation to better yourself. Make a list of what you want to do this year, make it your goal. Complete as many things as you possibly can.

New year, new you, same you, an upgraded version of you, whatever you want to be! Making new years resolutions is a way to refresh yourself and push yourself to move forward with your own personal growth. If you need it to be a new year for you to up your game, let it be!

If you can motivate yourself in March or October or any other time to just change who you are then great for you! But telling others that the way they choose to better who they are and learn to love themselves more is wrong, isn't okay. Maybe YOUR new year's resolution should be to be less of an asshole and support your friends, family, or even strangers to work on who they are however and whenever they see fit.

So what if someone else wants to lose weight, get more organized, or find their soul mate? Whatever it is they want to do, and whenever they want to do it, let them be. It's 2019 people, it's past time we start letting everyone be themselves without question, comment or concern from anyone else.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
