Endings and Beginnings.

It is always painful when something ends. Never easy and always hurts. It’s the end of a chapter in this story that we call life. It’s painful because we will never be able to go back to the way things were. The moments of pure happiness, the looks that you won’t be able to see again and all of the memories that are no longer being made but so many people think that once this happens you must write this person off. Say goodbye and withdrawal into themselves and not be a part of that person’s life anymore. That’s not the way it has to be at all. Ending a friendship or a relationship is painful enough with everything that has to change but when it’s a full 180 change it hurts even more. Remember that when things end that people are hurting. There is no need to pick sides, end friendships or cut ties. There is enough pain going around so remember to love on the people who are struggling while going through it and to remind them that they aren’t alone and that soon, they will have a new beginning.

The beginning of a chapter is scary in and of its own right. You don’t know what is going to happen and you hope and pray that it isn’t the same as every other time you let yourself feel or even hope. Three weeks ago, I took a leap of faith and decided to rush and actually pledge a social club here at OBU. I was incredibly scared and honestly didn’t know if I was going to fit in but I ended up finding some of the sweetest most caring girls id ever met. I feel at home already with my sisters of EEE. I cannot wait to make more memories and spend more time with these incredible ladies. Both ending things and beginnings things are difficult but one would never know what might happen if you don’t jump and try something new.

Start the new chapter

Read a new book

Try something new and fail

Never don’t do something based on fear

Trust in the lord and remember that all things are in his plan and in his hands.

God bless.

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.
