A Letter To Myself

Good luck future self.

A Letter To Myself
newevolutiondesigns.com

This is just a short letter to my future self.

Hey me, listen up, right now I'm not sure of what I'm doing. You can say I'm lost, or maybe a little misguided. I'm not ideally where I want to be. I'm writing this in hopes you will not be me, the me I am now, in the future. I am not the person I thought I was; I believed myself to be kind, gentle, and a hard worker. What I really am, is rough, selfish, and someone who is hardly working. I don't overachieve and there will be a slight chance I never do. I could have been so close to accomplishing so many things, yet focused on things that didn't matter. I let all of my dreams die without ever giving them a chance. I could have been on a different path but got complacent with where I was. I fell for simplicity and never chased after anything I wanted. I gave up when I shouldn't have. The first twenty-one years of my life, I have lived waiting for something good to happen. I've never gone and made something good happen.

You need to fix this, fix us, fix me. Work as hard as you can, and be yourself, your true self at all times. Don't go judging others unless you can handle being judged yourself. You need to make sure the rest of my life is a great one. You need to have ambition and keep yourself moving forward. You need to be proactive. You need to make sure the next twenty-one years of my life are some of the best years of my life. Work hard, and shoot for you're dreams if you have the chance. Don't give up, and just be the best person you can be for the rest of you're life.

Please Listen, Future Self. This is not for me but for you. Past me can not be changed, present me is stuck, but you can help make a difference.

Be that difference.

-Love,

Me..

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.
