Some Thoughts Besides The U.S. Election

We all need to take a break.

Some Thoughts Besides The U.S. Election
Wallpapers High Quality

It's been a chaotic time with the U.S. Election. There's been so much to think, say, do and I admire all the effort and involvement that's being taken in to the affairs and current events.

However, amidst all the noise, there's a lot of stress and overwhelming emotion. I feel the best thing to do is to try and step back for awhile. Take a break and relax. Do what you enjoy or something that you have been putting off for awhile. Go read a book, take a walk in a park, exercise, or find a new hobby! Compared to the entire observable universe, the issue of politics and current affairs are petty.

If we are concerned about every little thing that centers around our lives, we should also be concerned about the sun eventually dying out and becoming a supernova that will wipe out humanity, climate change and asteroids that could cause humans to be extinct.

My point is that there is no point in dwelling on so many things, especially things we have no control over. I think there is so much frustration, anger, stress, confusion and negativity in general that is building up all over the world. What people need to realize is that we are all on this planet Earth (that is heating up) together. In order to be significant, we need to be significant to each other. I hope to see a world where there is more positivity and happiness while being involved in the current affairs and issues.

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.
