The Beauty of Minding Your Own Business

Be a happier person.

We all have a nosy bone in our body somewhere. It's alright you can admit it. But there's a fine line between wanting to know things and going out of your way to find out things. There's a fine line between listening to someone speak and listening but then going to tell everyone you know. There's also a fine line between things that just have nothing to do with you.

It's important to find that fine line people.

Let's be real, we're all adults (scary, I know) and we shouldn't be spreading rumors. Nor should we be unable to keep secrets. Yes, I know some people struggle with keeping their mouths shut, and struggle with keeping secrets bottled up. There's a simple solution, and it may sound harsh. But.

MIND YOUR BUSINESS.

You'll avoid ruining a friendship by spreading their business around, and you'll for sure learn to keep things to yourself if you want anyone to tell you anything every again.

Now, not everyone sucks at keeping secrets. Some people are great at it actually. However, some people have the downfall of wanting to put their nose where it doesn't belong, and then sometimes they try to chime their two cents where it isn't wanted. Once again, here I go.

MIND YOUR BUSINESS.

Not everyone is open to opinions. And I can guarantee you, many people don't like being told what to do with their lives. Some people forget the golden rule of treat others the way you want to be treated. Would you want someone who constantly asks for your gossip and nothing else? Probs not.

All in all, minding your own business makes you a happier person if you really think about it. You don't have to worry about problems that aren't yours. You don't have to worry about anyone saying you're spreading rumors. Really, it'll make you a happier person if you keep to yourself.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
