The Life Struggles Of A Busy Person

The life of a busy person...where do I even begin? Constantly working, always busy, long days, no breaks, no time to rest. Living by a tight daily schedule. Be here at this time. Go there. Do this. Do that. Do this and do that.

Then you hit that point of complete exhaustion. You just hope for a time to relax and catch your breath. You are constantly on the go. Riding the highway at full speed. When will I ever slow down? When will I reach a red light? When will it stop?

I have lately found myself asking these questions. I am that busy and exhausted person. Working 40 hours a week, volunteering, writing, performing in a musical, and the many other small tasks I take on. I am dedicated to these commitments. This can sometimes be challenging. My schedule revolves around them. Each week requires something from me. Working, practicing, chores. My daily tasks and schedule never stop.

Always working each week. Never taking off. A constant repeat of the week. Work. Work. Work. And more work. And then some more work. It's overwhelming. It's exhausting. If only you could get a break. But, you are dedicated. You are committed. But, you are barely holding on right now. The busy is catching up to you. If you don't get a break now, you are going to have a break down.

Is there a way to stop before reaching that point of complete exhaustion? Will the busy person like me ever get less busy? The answer is no. Surprised, huh? Doesn't sound very optimistic, right? But, there is still a light at the end of the tunnel. The busy person can get a break. They can relax. They can rest.

Even though your commitments will always demand attention and dedication, you can catch a break. Make the most of the little moments you have. Like laying in bed after a long day from work, or the joys of it finally being Friday. Cherish these little times and embrace them. Even though your busy schedule will never stop. Enjoy the little moments. Always keep calm and stay relaxed.

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.
