Sometimes You Struggle And That's OK

I'm not exactly "thriving" right now, but I will be soon.

Sometimes You Struggle And That's OK

I do not know exactly what is going on with me right now but I do know that I can work through it. I have been sleeping a lot, not doing my work as much as I should. You know, the normal stuff that happens when the days start getting shorter. I know that I need to get it together but it is easier said than done. I have done it before though so I am not really worried about it.

I just need to get some motivation back. I always have enough motivation to get my school work done and do it well because I have too much anxiety to not do it well. All I did today was sleep and sometimes you need to do that but I probably did not. I need to continue to hang out with people and just leave the house in general. I would feel so much better if I just did not isolate myself. I do have really amazing friends that help me through that (although they won't buy me ice cream because all of us are SO broke).

I think I miss my friends a lot. I have not seen them since the summer which really sucks. We do text and snapchat daily but it is not the same. I also feel left out sometimes because they go to school back home so they get to see each other like way more than they see me because I live three hours away. I can not wait to see them over Thanksgiving break because I miss them so much. I am literally going to make them hang out with me almost constantly. This was supposed to be about how I am not at my best right not but I am going to get there. I will. I just need to get it together and deal with my stress in better ways because my answer should not always be sleeping and Youtube videos. I will get better and I will see my friends soon and I will soon be thriving again.

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.
