Sometimes We Need to Go With the Change

Life is full of changes every day. Some are good and some are bad. We don't always see which it is right away but in the end it is clearer. Most people I know don't like change or are afraid of it. I feel that I tend to fall with them on this topic. We like our comfort zone because well, it's comfortable for us. It's what we know and have been living by. The way I see it is when there is huge change in our lives, it's a way of life creating a new chapter. And just like books, sometimes they are meant to be reread over and over. In life we like telling stories about our adventures and taking walks down memory lane. But on the other hand, some books may be historical and tell what has happened good or bad but aren't meant to reread over and over. They can teach us things but we can't live in these, just like we can't live in the past. We can only live in the present. We write and create new stories to go down in our memories and yes that includes new chapters as well. Something I have recently learned to a farther extend is that people come in and out of our lives for a reason. Some stay, and some don't, but that is a part of life. People change and sometimes the ones we used to be very close with we grow apart from. It doesn't mean that we love them any less or didn't have good times with them, but maybe instead it means that our time together is over. It can be very sad but in certain situations it can be good when certain people leave our lives. They say that holding on can be worse than letting go and in some cases this is very true. If someone starts to hurt us and tear us down, we need to step away even if it's not what we want it may be what we need. Someone once told me that we meet so many people between the ages 15 and 25 and so many of these people don't stay in our lives and they are not meant to. Most times the people we meet teach us things that we can utilize in our lives. But the way I see it, we meet new people until the day we die. And if you think about it, there are people that we are close with now that we weren't before and it's a beautiful thing. It kind of plays on the saying "when one door closes, another opens." Just remember that even in the worse of storms, there's almost always a rainbow to follow. And in all of this, I'm not saying change is easy, because for most of us it isn't. But what I am saying is that it is a part of life and it is going to happen so we need to stop fighting it so much and go for the ride because who knows, maybe it could be the best change of your life.

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.
