The Sun Always Rises and Sets

The Sun Always Rises and Sets
Tori Tredinnick

The way life should be dealt with can best be easily described as when the sun rises and the sun sets each day. Each day, no matter what happens, no matter how it happens, nothing affects the way the sun rises and sets.

The sun doesn't let anything get in it's way. It knows it only has one shot to live, and no matter what the weather, good, bad or somewhere in between, the day will eventually come to a close. The sun will set, just to rise the next day.

The sun has seen a lot during its lifetime, and each year, as it goes through its seasons, it never once stopped giving light, and being figuratively happy. And sure, it's cloudy some days, or storming, but the sun is always still shining even though it's not at full force.

In addition, the sun never stops rising or setting because someone thinks it isn't as beautiful as it should be. But, even though the sun doesn't always get recognition, it doesn't mean its any less perfect, so just because you aren't always acknowledged, or your achievement aren't always seen, it doesn't mean you're worthless. Because on day, people will realize you were the most perfect sunset because you rose every morning, and didn't let people dictate how you felt about yourself.

We should learn from the sun, and it's crazy ways. It doesn't let what happens around itself ruin it's day, even if it has a bad day, it still find way to shine and to be happy. It knows, that even the worst days always come to an end, and that it'll have a chance to shine even brighter the next day. We should learn that we shouldn't let others dim our inner sun, or demean it in any way, and even if that does happen, our days will end and the sun will rise again.

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.
