Steps of Letting Go
youtube

The funny thing about letting go is that it can apply to everything whether that is letting go of a boy or girl, letting go of something that made you mad or sad, or letting go of a memory that is either driving you insane or does no good for you any more. Letting go is a step in living a happy life. Happy life as in getting rid of the little tiny things that bother you that do not even apply to your life anymore.

1. Find something else to worry your mind with or think about. Because most the time you are letting things bother you it is probably because you are thinking too hard or too much about it.

2. Give it time. All things fade in time and it is true, but at the same time you have to let things go as well. The things that bother you, remind yourself that they shouldn't bother you.

3. Find a hobby. Make yourself completely utterly busy with something else that you don't even bother yourself with thinking of what you're trying to forget.

4. Accept the fact that you will not completely forget, just accept that and you'll realize that in time things won't bother you anymore. You'll slowly learn to forget the way you felt in his or her arms, the stupid thing you said, or those awful memories.

5. Learn from whatever you're trying to let go of. If there is something good to come out of whatever happened, learn from it so it does not happen again. Accept what has happened and learn from whatever mistakes occured or whatever there is to learn or gain out of the experience.

Everyone has something going on in their life and it is important to take that and grow from it. It may suck no and it will probably suck tomorrow, but maybe a month from now the storm will have passed and everything will be better. So learn and grow and be the best person possible so you can move on from those troubles and never worry of them again. Remember no matter your past you're amazing as long as you keep learning.

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.
