Stop Worrying About Being Embarassed And Just Live

Because living is the whole idea...

Stop Worrying About Being Embarassed And Just Live
cocoparisienne

I have to say that people who live their life regardless of what people think or say have the right idea.

It feels impossible and definitely has a "too good to be true" ring to it. Living life how you want without letting anyone else impact it. Seems simple enough right? Wrong.

There are a plethora of people in this world that alter their behavior because "someone might hear me or see me." Which is pretty much a fear-filled approach to life. Instead why not try to unashamedly live life as yourself? Was there an instance where wanted to sing, but couldn't find your voice because the popular people were too close? Have you ever wanted to be friends with someone who the rest of your friends hated with a burning passion, so you walked away? How did you feel after that?

Think about it. How often do you spend more time over analyzing a situation before acting upon it? How many times did you not talk to someone or ask them out because you did not want to show that you are in fact human? How often have you imitated life instead of just lived it? I am just as guilty of it. In fact, I'm probably one of the biggest offenders.

I have lost friends, in more ways than one. I am full of regret for things I didn't say. But those situations gave me the best gift, a reminder to live my life every day. Not necessarily to live a "big" life, but just to live it.

Live your life, because you never know what your last moment with someone will be. Make the move, steal the kiss (with consent people), walk in your graduation ceremony, book the trip of your lifetime. Just do it. Because there are so many people will never have that opportunity again.

Whatever the mountain is that you have been too frightened to climb, scale it. If you fall, then fall. But get up and try it again. If you can't do it for yourself, do it for the those who will never have the courage to try.

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.
