To Those Who Hide Their Guilt

As much as you bury, I hope you feel it one day

To Those Who Hide Their Guilt
Collide

There's one of two reasons to not feel guilt. Either you're body has a chemical imbalance, where you completely lack a conscience, or you are just blatantly burying the guilt that you feel to try to feel better about yourself. This is to those people who bury the guilt, bury it so far down that they think they are making themselves feel better about themselves for what they did to feel their guilt.

First of all, why? What is so easy about hiding that guilt? I want these people to realize it will hit them eventually. You may have trained yourself for years to not feel guilt, thinking you never have to apologize, thinking you are better than saying those words, "I'm sorry" and proving it, but eventually, deception catches up to us and that guilt will hit you.

Don't wait for that day. Recognize that guilt now and clear both your heart and head. One day something will happen to you where you wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" and you will go through your past searching for the answer. When did you intentionally hurt someone, when did you lie, when did you not feel sorry for these actions, when did you not try to fix it? And that is when the guilt will come and you will do anything to try to finally fix it at that point, unfortunately, most times too late.

So don't wait for that day to come. You are given this emotion, along with others, to recognize them and act on them in positive ways, not to bury them to make yourself feel better for the time being. Face your guilt, fix what caused it, recognize your mistakes before you make the same ones over again.

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.
