39 Things We Forget

As a whole, there is so much we forget to do. Sometimes we even forget that we are human beings and that we are capable of doing so much more than we realize. These are a few things that are forgotten and should be remembered. These are also a few things that are forgotten and make life that much better.

1. Our keys, that’s when we have to jump through the window or call AAA.

2. Any and all birthdays until they are a day away.

3. Phone numbers, even sometimes our own.

4. Anniversaries – I feel like this is a big one for men.

5. Our phones, AKA our lives!

6. Money in our pockets before the clothes get washed.

7. Time – we never remember all the time we do or do not have.

8. Names of people we see once in a blue moon

9. Names of the family when you're pissed (In my family, it's Daihjon, Destinee, James, Tayiah, Jaiden, Bobby! Alina get over here, you knew what I meant!)

10. Friendships when we move from opportunity to opportunity.

11. Debit cards because wallets are just too organized.

12. Wallets because who can keep track of something that small.

13. Shoes because they never want to stay in a pair.

14. Clothing because they never end up where they are supposed to be.

15. Plans because one can only do so much.

16. How to match when in a rush because everything should be able to go together.

17. Homework – this one is self-explanatory.

18. Deadlines because more time should always be available, even when it's not.

19. To set the alarm because nobody wants to wake up.

20. Promises, because some are meant to be broken

21. Wishes because they always change with time.

22. Goals because they are either accomplished or changed.

23. Dreams because they are meant to be dreamt.

24. Sleep because we are so busy living life.

25. When to eat because food tastes better at midnight!

26. How long it takes to do things because we think we are Flash.

27. The stress before the vacation or trip because we get to have fun on it.

28. The fun we had on that trip that one year because of all the other adventures we are having.

29. To feed the cat because they sadly can’t feed themselves.

30. To take out the trash because we would rather have the house smell.

31. To do the dishes because paper plates always work so much better.

32. To have fun because sometimes work gets in the way.

33. To make the bed because we are just going to get back in it anyway.

34. To let the emotion out sometimes because we are always trying to seem stronger than we are.

35. To relax because our muscles are always going.

36. To breathe because sometimes we don’t realize how good it feels to do.

37. To live because everything is so busy existing.

38. To trust because everyone is not out to get you.

39. To love because it is the best feeling in the world.

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.
