We all know those people that don't think things through and kind of just do things. We don't really plan to do something, we just wake up and do it. Being impulsive isn't really a bad thing because we just go with the flow and don't get too upset over change. But there are a lot of struggles being an impulsive person.

Going shopping is a gamble.

Yea, I went in there to buy bread and almond milk. What did I leave with? Five pillows and a new bathing suit. I already have 20 pillows, I don't really know why I bought more.

Your hair is a thing in the past.

Changing your hairstyle is pretty risky, but when you're impulsive, you'll cut seven inches off and be completely fine. Until three months later when you can't do anything to it. Dye and fry your hair, it's fine, it's just hair.

Please don't fight with us.

When we fight, we want to end whatever is the problem. So nothing is safe, including you mom.

Plans do not exist.

If we make plans, and I bail last minute it's probably because I decided to go on an adventure without telling anyone. Track my phone and make sure I am alive.

What consequences?

Since we don't think things through, we don't really understand the consequences that we could face because of our actions. And it'll come to a shock when it catches up to us.

Being impulsive is all fun and games, until its not anymore. We might come to regret what we have done in the past. We might not know what exactly we are getting into at the time of a decision. But I would rather be someone who just gets up and does what I want, than sit around and talk about it. I'll take the struggles as they come, and stay impulsive for life.

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.
