I'm tired of being tired

"The days just seem to get more and more tiring."

They really didn't teach you in high school that "adulting" would be hard, but most importantly, tiring. Yes, I am going to be doing a lot of complaining in this article.

I'm not sure about anyone else, but even with a good 7 hours of sleep, I am still tired.

I have lots of things going on in my life that are making me tired all the time. The constant anxiety and worrying doesn't help for starters. This likes to keep up for a good hour or two until I can actually fall asleep. Then I wake up all anxious and worrisome about what I need to do for the day.

My head also likes to worry about things that I have no control over. This ranges from global warming to the poor individuals on the street, to simple things like the way my eggs were made, etc. Yeah, I can do my part and my best in helping these situations but I can't solve EVERYTHING. Which drives me insane, and makes me tired. I just care too much I guess.

I'm tired of looking for jobs and not being able to figure out what I want. Constantly going on interviews and being denied jobs is horrible. Traveling is a lot too and the constant decline of your resume makes you sad, and tired.

I am tired of paying bills. THEY ARE SO EXPENSIVE. And why they didn't teach you how to pay taxes in high school is beyond me. I am also tired of getting paid s**t when I work so many hours! My bachelor's degree should not be equal to minimum wage.

I am tired of living with so many people in a household; it gets so crowded. Yes I know, I can move out. I AM TRYING. That requires a job which I can't get.

Oh yeah, that seven hours of sleep "I get" usually doesn't happen. It is rare. Maybe that is why I am tired, because I am tired from getting no sleep.

I am tired after working out and making plans. I am even too tired to work out and make plans with others when I go. I can't even go out to dinner without being tired. Of course, working out makes you tired, but WAY too tired. I am too tired in the morning to go, but I force myself.

I am tired of finding my path. I am starting classes soon which I am excited about but again, it's tiring getting ready for school. I am sure the tiredness will get worse when classes start.

Work is tiring, no doubt. This should be an obvious one. No one wants to work unless you find that job you love. But even that job you love can make you tired, but I guess in a good way.

So how does the constant tiredness stop? Do I just deal? Even when I relax I am too tired!

I guess I need to accept that although life is tiring, that is the beauty of it. We work hard and play hard, so we're tired. But it doesn't mean our days have to be ruined by tiredness.

We can overcome the stress and tiredness by truly taking time for ourselves to reflect and relax the right way.

I am determined to beat the tiredness!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
