The Start of Something New

Don't be afraid to jump.

The Start of Something New
The Art of Stories

The sense of starting something new is exciting, amazing and scary all in one. Whether it's a new sport, going to a new school or a new relationship, doing all those things are easier said then done. Starting something new is an eye opener for all and is really interesting to do. Although it can be scary, there is always family and friends around to help you through whatever it is that you are scared or excited about. It is similar to facing your fears, either you do it and feel accomplished or you don't and wish you did. Sharing these things are great because there can be a common interest in doing so. Sharing experience can help others in what their fears are. Now I want to share my experience with you.

Going into writing is something I never thought imaginable. I had friends wanting me to do this for a while now and I didn't think I would be any good at it. Finally, I gave in and decided to face my fear. I don't really like being the center of attention and this to me is the complete opposite. I was fearful and I didn't know what to expect. Without the support of my family and friends, I wouldn't be writing this right now. A lot of people have trouble facing their fears. A few girls at my work have fears about doing things that they never thought they would be able to do. Something that others may find easy, such as climbing a rock wall. Granted, to one it may be very small and seem easier for others but for some, this is a huge step that they are happy they got to conquer it. Things like this warm my heart. It makes people feel good about their accomplishments.

The most important thing is a support system. Having support is important because without it, what's your drive? What's the motivation behind doing the thing you want to accomplish? With accomplishing the new thing you are fulfilling, it leads to new experiences and new beginnings so you can find the things in common with others.

All I'm really trying to say is face your fears, do what you think is impossible and share your experience with others because one day, you might help someone that never thought they had it in them. Advice is free and so sharing experiences with others. There isn't much good in the world so why not share good memories and experiences with others?

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.
