Why You  Should Travel More
myotonic.org

I felt inspired to write about traveling this week because, by the time you are reading this, I will be across the pond exploring France! Yes, you read that correctly. Don't worry, I will have another article when I get back where I discuss my adventures abroad and share some exciting memories with you all. For now, I think it is important to discuss the fact that traveling can be a great experience for everyone and people need to get out more and see what our world has to offer.

For me personally, traveling is so much fun and it opens my eyes to how great and vast our world really is. Whether you go on a quick road trip somewhere new in your home state, or if you fly thousands of miles around the world, either way, it is always a fun and adventurous time. I know that even if I go on a little road trip to a new beach, that it is always interesting because I am exploring a new environment, but I love the beach so it is a win-win scenario for me.

I know you may be thinking that traveling can become costly, especially if you are interested in traveling to different countries. However, I believe that spending money on experiences is much more valuable than materialistic items. Sure, having a fancy car or a big boat is nice and all, but being able to travel somewhere you have never been before and to be immersed in a different culture, that is truly money well spent in my book.

That is why saving money whenever you can is so important and learning to spend your money wisely is always a good idea as well. That way, you have extra cash in the bank to go out and see the world, even if you are on a budget.

Traveling should be a fun time for everyone and I truly believe that it helps us grow as individuals. We become so used to our daily lives that when we go somewhere new, at first, it can feel a little intimidating. However, after you get acquainted, you start to realize how beautiful that place is and you learn to appreciate life more.

We only get one life to live, so that is why everyone should travel as often as possible. Go out and explore the world, even if you just take a short road trip somewhere new. You don't have to fly halfway across the world to travel and have fun. So, what are you waiting for? Go make some memories that will last a lifetime!

PS: be on the look-out for my travel article all about my experience traveling across Europe when I get back!

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.
