Songs You Need To Stop and Listen To Right Now
Alive At Night

Sometimes when we are going through a very hard time and it seems like nothing in the world can go right or soften the blow. However, solace can often be found in music, or even some sort of outlet for your feelings or opinions that you have a hard time expressing otherwise. These songs have been on repeat on my playlist for a few weeks or so now and I thought it would be fun to share them with those who may not have heard them yet.


"What Do I Know?" - Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran is incredibly popular on the mainstream radio but this song really expresses how much we really need to love one another and how music can truly bring people together. In a constant battle with hate in the world today I think we can all benefit from this.


"When You Love Someone" - James TW

This is one of those songs I cannot relate to fully, however it has such a deep meaning I think that music doesn't actually touch on ever. You hear of breakups and hookups in songs but this is more personal. A broken family. In the big scheme of things people get divorces way more often and for kids of these situations this song could mean so much to them.


"Worst Day of My Life" - Alec Benjamin

I think this artist is one of those 'on the verge' artists, one that most likely hasn't been heard on the mainstream radio yet and really should. This song may be a little depressing but when you are having a bad day and a happy song makes you mad, this one does the trick and lets you really feel every thing you wish to feel.


"We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off" - Ella Eyre

This song does play on top 40 stations so it may not come as a surprise. However, in a culture of hookups and speeding into things we really could take something fro this because there are so many mor3e things we can do as couples that do not involve taking off your clothes.


"Ahead of Myself" - X Ambassadors

X Ambassadors is no stranger to the playlists of many. This one stays on repeat for me in order to remind myself not to get 'ahead of myself' clearly. It is best to take your time. Seeing so many people these days who are serial daters or jump the gun in many other aspects in life, this is a very good reminder to slow down and think.


Everyone has their own taste in music, and I like to think mine is very eclectic. Lately these are the songs I just can't get enough of and if you are anything like me your music choices reflect your inner thoughts and feelings. I hope you enjoy and find some deep meaning to any of these songs or even a playlist of your own.

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.
