The Girl Who Lost Her Way

I remember being a little girl and dreaming of what my life would be like when I was older. A Vet, Astronaut, Doctor, Singer, maybe even a Chef. All fantasy's I had at different points growing up and I can just remember how real they were in my head, and sometimes in my dreams. We are raised, well not all of us, both most if you have good parents, teachers, and role models, you are raised thinking that you can be anything you want when you grew up. They say "As long as you put your heart into it and give it your all you can do anything you want in life". But you grow up and cling to this idea and work as hard as you can in hopes that is one day will be proven true.... will it?

This is where I am today, well not just today everyday. I am a lost girl from Neverland.. lol okay not really but kind of. I'm grown up and Sadly enough I have lost some hope on the way, my hearts been broken my boys, missed opportunities, failure and just life and the stuff it throws at you out of the blue. I've lost my way and I'm drowning. Sinking straight to the bottom even though my legs are kicking as hard as they can. I feel like its never ending. When am I gonna be living the dreams I once had as a little girl? Changing the world one persons life at a time!? When am I going to be able to wake up, no matter what side of the bed I'm on and look in the mirror and admire the woman looking back at me? When will I ever feel a huge sigh of relief and know that the hard work and long years I've spent busting my butt in all aspects of life: Relationships, School, Work, Worship, Family and Friends is all right where it needs to be in places I'm completely satisfied with?

I'm lost but soon I shall be found... whether its by a search party of friends, family and loved ones...Or by God himself giving me a sign I cannot miss, or just finally waking up from this alternate world I've been wandering around in kind of like Alice in Wonderland. I don't know when ill find home or where home will be but I know I have a home somewhere. I know that one day this will all be worth it. One day Ill know my purpose. Ill know I'm doing the right things, I'm with the right person, have the right friends, and live the life I was destined to live. I am lost. But sometimes those who wander are not always lost. So maybe I'm not lost I'm just wandering trying to find my way in this crazy 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.
