There's never been a better time to think.

These Are The Thoughts You Have At 3 A.M.
Parallel Thoughts

Its 3 a.m. and I a.m. currently sitting here and typing a story. The story of 3 a.m. thoughts, emotions and the hate. The feeling of knowing its 3 a.m. and there are about 1000 things going through my mind. Things I should probably not be thinking about and things that are not relevant to my life, currently.

Here are some thoughts that happen:

The Break Up

I fell in love with someone in high school but I don’t think that that the other person realized that I was falling for them. Everything that the person put me through everything, we had the best and the worst of times. However, this relationship seemed to control my life… I listened and took everything that the person to heart. Everything that I was told and everything that I was put through impacted me in the most negative way.

We Accept Love

The love I was given seemed to be tough love. I felt like everything that was happening to us was a result of my fault. Every fight, every time we would not talk for weeks on end, every time I was told I was a terrible person. Those moments were the ones I remember at 3 am and those moments are the ones that defined my past but not my future.

After everything I learned from my past I have learned that one must be brave enough to see love isn’t limitless.

The Freshman Mistake

We all encounter hundreds of people in college but it sometimes we trust the wrong people. For me it was the wrong person. I met someone my freshman year and it took about one semester for that one person to turn my entire freshman year around and into the worst experience.

At 3 a.m., these thoughts about the past become my reality over and over again. Hearing that one person’s voice in my head then hearing the outrageous sentence calling me “dramatic and immature”.

At 3 a.m., the thoughts that have not been answered become our reality. Our thoughts and unconscious feelings are brought up.

At 3 a.m., the things we have not thought about in forever.

The Stages

There seems to be some stages of staying up late and having these thoughts. One of the stages with the self-realization. With that processes we start to think about the emotions and thinking about the people who have impacted out past. These processes usually end with a lot of emotions but that happens at 3 a.m.

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.
