Starting Over

Starting Over

How do you end up in this place where you never imagined you would be? You never thought that one day you would get to the point of being so vulnerable, so unlike yourself; answer is you didn't. You didn't think you were capable of getting to the point where it was hard to recognize yourself, yet here you are. Fixing it, well that's out of the question. You're already in too deep, you can't just try and forget it all because it's there and it's not going to go away. The only real thing you can do is move on.

So many people find themselves lost from who they once were or find themselves creating a problem that they didn't intend to do but it's so deep from who they were they can't undo it all. People can forgive but no one can ever really forget; that's why moving on from it, learning from it is the next best thing. If you find yourself in a hole that you can't seem to get yourself out of figure a way around it all and continue on with your life. Nothing is ever really that drastic to be stuck in that moment forever, because at the end of the day or even years from now will it all really matter? If you find that it does matter still keep going, you still need to be who you are and not create someone new just because of one thing you did. Moving on is hard, you're not always going to be at a certain point in your life where you are always happy about who you are or what you have done in your life. The only thing you can do it accept it all and accept that there is only one you and no one can take that away.

Starting over may sound really scary, and it can be. Whether it's starting over a lost friendship or any relationship, or whether it's starting over in a new place trying to create your new future. Or whether it's starting over with yourself and getting to a place where you find yourself to be content and be happy with the person you are. It's gonna be hard, and it might even be a long road to get to, but with the right attitude of always keeping your head up and getting to that place of content you will be okay. Even if you find yourself not at the place or level you wish you were but you're better than you once were that is more than enough to find yourself to keep going. Don't think that anything could get in your way but think that nothing can stop you from being great or achieving your own greatness. Because in the end your true greatness is something that is going to empower your whole life and possibly someone else.

You might get lost at some time in your life but it's really about how you decide to go on with your life after it does happen or how you choose to become you 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.
