The Scars of Life

Every Scar is Another Challenge Faced

Life isn't always easy to navigate through. Sometimes there can be ups and sometimes there can be downs. For people who had to deal with most of the downs of life have come away with scars because not everything can stop the bad things in life from happening, no matter how hard they try. However, for the people who face most of the ups in life can come away with scars because for every good comes a bad. No one can truly know the effects scars can have until they are edge into the person's life.

For me, I come with both the scars from the good and bad because life is always unpredictable when it comes to life and its challenges. As for other people, it could be the same or it can be either just good or just bad. Not one person can go through life without receiving a scar or two because life just wants to keep throwing people challenges. It doesn't have to mean the person is weak or can't handle the fallout of things. If a person is willing to embrace the scars of life it just goes to say that a person is stronger for it.

People can be allowed to feel vulnerable and exposed because scars can be ugly and harsh but as long as a person doesn't feel alone they can survive. In every person, there can be a warrior who can be strong and fight. If there is a warrior that means they won't allow the scars to change them and will let them fade. Now even though scars have faded they are still there because scars never really go away. Also sometimes things in life allow them to exposed but it doesn't mean a person has to let them win.

I don't always allow my warrior to blossom but when I do I let people know I don't back down. Now more than ever I fight to be the warrior I believe I can be while in college because with college it's new scars can begin to form with all new things. Also, I hope to in the future to show other people they have warriors in them. It can take time and a lot of trust for a person to see it so I won't give up until they do.

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.
