This Is The True Beauty Of Winter

It cradles your skin, going in and out of every hair that sits upon your arms, goose bumps crawl up and down your limbs, leaving your body with a numbness that nothing else will ever give. The air is so crisp it feels like its clearing your lungs and replacing it with a thin layer of frost, however, it doesn't cause discomfort, just a feeling of pure air.

The sky radiates a surprising, yet powerful light that slowly melts the layer of snow that rests upon you eyelashes, and with every blink, they slowly disappear. From that light, your body begins to heat up, your cheeks form two round and rosy circles, and it creeps to the tip of your nose.

You turn your head and glance at the quiet city ahead of you. Each house covered in mounds of snow, each different, but they blend together in the most subtly perfect way.

As the sun begins to set, it shines through the tiny stalagmite looking icicles that hang around the perimeter of the homes. Everything is so still, it looks like an everlasting picture.

"How could something so small and simple, turn this town into something so beautiful?" You think to yourself, as you stare at the winsome land scattered around your feet.

The beauty of this exotic yet so incredibly simple scene occupies your brain, leaving you with nothing but the beauty of winter in your mind. Why do some people wish this would end?

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.
