1.Buying the instrument


You want to play the instrument but you don't know what to buy and you’re scared your going to buy the wrong one.

2. Figuring out how to play it

You got the instrument, finally, now time for the music. You either buy music or look it up online.

3. You find out you were playing it wrong

You thought it didn’t sound right so doing more research makes you realize you were right.

4. You turn to Youtube


The hours staring at music that you don’t understand isn’t helping so you turn to youtube for some tutorials, maybe they will help.

5. You realize it was harder then you expected

You sit there watching a person play and realize this is more work then you thought.

6. You debate on giving up

This is more then you thought and maybe it’s not worth your time.

7. You keep practicing

You spent so much money on this instrument that you cant give up after only an hour.

8. You learn to play one note properly


You show everyone, that one note you will always remember. The moment shows you that you can do it.

9. You learn to play a song


You’re kinda slow, cause it take you a few seconds to switch from note to note. But you did it and the best part it kinda sounds right.

10. You can play two songs.


Two are better then one. When you get sick of the one song you can practice the other.

11. You practice and now you have a new skill


You have gone through pain and struggle but if people ask you what you can do you can add playing an instrument to your list of skills. I don’t know who’s going to ask you but have fun.

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.
