I'm the Outsider moving forward
picture quotes


Outsider, I used to be that, wait I still am that, but I'm that outsider that is living life and moving forward with my life. I never saw my life moving forward. I couldn't see anything besides living at my moms and staying there forever, and yet I feel that way sometimes still, she won't let me do more things that would help me out in the long run. I know it's silly to say she will not let me do anything. But sadly it's true. I don't have a car and I only have a permit but no one will teach me how to drive. My friends and family are like you can just take the test and then be on your way, but honest I don't wanna be like every person out there that don't know how to drive on the main road. But even when I ask people don't wanna help me out when I have helped them out more times then they can count. The other thing is I have a learning disability but my mom treats it as I can't do anything.....I am a lot smarter than you think, I'm more independent more then most people that have it. So I try to do something to better my life but I get held back, Like always.....Then I get treated differently so much it's not even funny.

Now it's not bad living at my mom's I don't have to pay rent I just have to pay my cell phone and gas money to get places. But when I ask for a ride somewhere they get upset that I am asking this, well if they would teach me how to drive then I wouldn't be asking them I would be getting the car from them. So it's 2017 now, I'm sick of living here with my mom, and not having things how they should be since I don't get treated right here. I got a new job, that has more hours and it's more pay, it was time to change my life to get myself out of the place I am with, it's sad to leave my friends at my work now but I know it will be better for me no matter what. Even josh has told me it will be better for me and for us with us trying to move out and getting our lives together. I never was able to look forward in my life until I met him, he has changed me so much for the better and I am more ready to get my life started with him. we both have come along away with our lives and I am proud of him as much as he is with me. I know we will able to do this for ourselves.

Outsider, I am still that, I think I will always be that outsider that says around herself and stays away but I'm going to be that one outsider that makes it good in life.

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.
