There's one Thing About Time: It passes

Cherish it

There's one Thing About Time: It passes
The Odyssey

Time is considered to be the most cherished commodity in life. We say, we hear it, but do we really think about what it means? Many of us know that time goes by quickly, but we still live as though we will have all of the time in the world. We says things like "one day" or "maybe in a few years". But why not now? We like the think we have all the time in the world because we don't want to think or talk about the sad fact that it will not always be how it is today.

Change is something that comes along with time, and it something many of us do not like to acknowledge. I personally vow to start making the most of every moment in life, this ranges from visiting a city you always wanted to visit, or simply just being nicer to people. I'm writing about this topic because change for me has always been hard. Why would I do something different when I am content with life now? But I don't always want life to be content I want it to be spectacular.

Even though we complain when its too hot, or it's too cold outside, I think we need to start appreciating the fact that we have seasons. Even though in some places of the world they do not get to experience different seasons, I think we take them for granted. For example, its fall right now, one of my favorite seasons, but before we know it, it will be winter. So, take it all in now and embrace the months and enjoy them instead of complaining along the way.

Time passing would't be so bad if it didn't mean saying goodbye to important people in our life. Whether it be a friend or significant other that just changed and is no longer in our life, or a death of someone who we love, we need to appreciate every moment we have with them. I believe that certain people are in our lives at specific points in our lives to teach us lessons and help us grow, even if they don't stay in our life for a very long time. They are still apart of our story.

We are in this moment now, and we have to be thankful for them. We all have bad days and we all have amazing days. We just have to remember that we were given this day, if it is a tough one, we are becoming stronger and learning from it. If the day is going beautifully, then embrace and remember that there will be many more of the same kind of days to look forward to.

There is one sure thing in this life and it is that time passes, even if we don't like to accept it. Situations don't last forever, and when they aren't going how you expect them to, its because they are meant to be this way right now in this very moment, but one day, they will be completely different. Cherish time, always.

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.
