A Road With No Destination

No destination is the best destination.

A Road With No Destination

At the beginning of each week everyone is so busy planning out their plans, appointments, and tasks each day. They have to be here at a certain time, meet that person at another time, and then make time for themselves every day. It's exhausting and no one takes the time to think about the simplicity in life.

The simple life moments are right outside your door step. Taking a few hours to enjoy your alone time should not be stuck sitting on your couch in front of a T.V.. It's time to embrace the chance that you get to be outside and enjoy to nature.

Sometimes it takes more effort and mental motivation but you just have to get out there and do it without thinking about it too hard. Once you're outside, you realize there is a whole world out there.

Pack a backpack of what you may need including chap stick, sunscreen, flip flops, a change of clothes, and money. Maybe even throw in a pair of headphones and let the music take your sense of direction.

You just have to start walking or use inexpensive transportation to get from point A to point "unknown". Take a walk on the wild side, take the train to a spot you've always wanted to go to, or ride your bike along whatever path may come across your way.

You never know who you might run into, you may meet someone new, or you may capture a glimpse of something beautiful that you have never seen.

When you realize you're taking a minute to look at your phone and you see that your phone is dying. Trust me, it's not the end of the world. It's pretty easy to know how you got to where you were and you may just have to turn around and head back home if you feel uncomfortable without your cell phone.

Walking outside and enjoying the simple things in life right in front of you is a blessing in disguise. Sometimes we get too caught up in looking for whats next, or what our next plan is, or the next time we can get to go there or go here. Instead when we have the free time, we need to simply enjoy it by the beauty right at our finger tips.

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.
