Let's All Learn To Love Ourselves
AJ Rai

We live in this world where technology controls our lives. This is where we meet new people and talk to people. Where we post out thoughts, feelings, and our summer pictures. Summer 2k16 Is supposed to be the best year of our lives. Just like every year, we make the biggest plans and the have the most fun doing weird and fun things.

In this summer we meet new people from different concerts, town, and states. This summer is the year that we meet the people who come in for a short amount of time but also stay because nothing compares the memories that are made during the summer.

In this summer there are the people who we make the best memories and the people who make the memories but the experience’s. This summer is the summer that I went all out. I got an amazing internship learning about everything I wanted to learn about. With that I also found a great job where I could help people. This summer I have an internship through a hospital and then though CVS. This is what I call my summer romance.

MY summer romance starts with me waking up at 6 am and ends with me in bed or going out. This isn’t the summer I wanted the best summer of my life. I wanted to be able to forget my past and start over. This year I succeeded and I am better than last year. This summer I learned more about myself.

I used the time and resources I had to learn more about myself. I was able to learn more about who I want to be and become that person. After two years of hurting and being hurt, I established myself… I grew up and I was able to make who I am better.

My summer romance started with me liking myself, me being happy because I was able to grow. I was able to learn that I didn’t need anyone to be happy because I was an adult in this big world. I was the adult who took charge of my life.

Summer 2K16 is the summer that I wanted… this summer is the one I needed in order to figure out what I needed. This year is the year that I began to fall in love with myself and allowed myself to enjoy those moments… over and over again. It takes a lot to say that you should fall in love with yourself. It took a lot for me to say that, and it took that much for me to know that I am worth it.

As I recall that it takes a lot for someone to admit that they are somewhat happy to be alone. I was tired of being alone but I learned slowly that this summer I needed to fall in love with myself. I wanted to be able to all in love and learn more about myself than I ever have. At this time… summer 2k16 I learned.

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.
