So You've Had A Bad Day

No Matter How Terrible You Might Feel Today, You Won't Feel The Same Tomorrow.

So You've Had A Bad Day

That arguably short period between birth and death is a complicated and complex experience to say the least. This conscious period known as life has the tendency to constantly throw unexpected curveballs our way. Our lives rarely remain consistent; rather it's a series of highs and lows. Sometimes we have our good days and unfortunately sometimes we experience some terrible days, which can shake us to our core. One terrible day has the power to single-handedly alter our lives forever. Said days can lead us to make drastic decisions or do things we normally wouldn't do. A bad week or a bad day has the ability to make or break a person.

When it comes to dealing with complicated situations many people are so quick to throw in the towel or take the easy way out, even if that certain way isn't beneficial to them or the right thing to do. Basically they find it easier to simply give up than to remain strong and fight for the outcome they want or the outcome they believe in. When I mention "bad days" I'm referring to those days where something serious occurs that can negatively alter our lives. I am unable to define what that "serious thing" might potentially be because everyone is different and hold certain aspects of life on their own pedestal. For some it might be something like breaking up with a girlfriend or boyfriend, or having to relocate from friends and for others it might be the passing of a pet. However the example, which I can provide, that everyone might find relatable is the passing of a friend or loved one. When we experience those bad days it's understandable and certainly relatable to often lose hope and allow our minds to wander to dark places. Once we've granted our minds access into grim corners we generally encounter our inner demons and it is then that we have an even harder time attempting to stay positive and strong because those voices are capable of weighing very heavily on one's conscience and heart.

So I beseech upon you the reader, what do you do when you've had a bad day? Do you simply feel sorry for yourself or do you think of ways you could possibly fix the immediate problem(s)? Even if said problems can't be fixed, do you somber around or try to remain positive keeping in mind that tomorrow is a new day and the sun will rise in the morning. I'm not implying that something as terrible as losing a loved one is something that should be taken lightly or should be shrugged off. I am merely establishing that hope is something that can go a long way when it comes to helping us get through tough times. Simply keep in mind that no matter how badly you may feel it will get better because as I said earlier the sun always rises in the morning and there is always a new day for you to start anew.

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.
