To New Beginnings: 2019

I'm not writing this because the new year is here and 2019 will be different, cause doesn't everyone say, "New Year, New Me?"

To New Beginnings: 2019

To New Beginnings because life isn't going to always be the same and because you're grown up. To new beginnings because why not? I'm turning 21 soon, and it'll be a new life. I'll truly be an adult and I'm talking about because I can drink. I'm saying to new beginnings because I will be able to get hotels now without the consent of an adult.

To new beginnings because it's time to live for myself. Here's what I've done for a New Beginning, and I mean why don't you try it too?

1. Actually making my bed every day

Now, I don't how long this going to last but, I've started making my bed every morning. There is nothing nicer than coming home to a clean bed. It leaves you satisfied.

2. Redecorating

Redecorating can make something old feel so new. I tend to always rearrange things every few months because I believe it's fun to come home to something new all the time. Now I don't go buy new things, all I do is take some things away, or I go make stuff myself. I've moved my bed possible five times in the eight months that I've lived in my apartment.

3. Drinking water

It's something small, but it does make a difference. You don't realize how unhealthy the stuff you drink or eat is until you start being healthy and you noticed how you change a month in. The effects won't be automatic, but in a month you will realize that your skin may be less dry, or you don't look so gloomy and you have loads of energy.

4. Get A fluffy buddy

There is nothing better than a best friend who is always by your side. I'm talking about a pet animal. They just make you happy. And they don't talk back! They just sit there and make you happy.

* * *

There is nothing more amazing than having the ability to end something and start something new. It is empowering and it allows you to do what you want to do. It's a new perspective on life. You take charge, you change things, and you do what you need or what to make your life the way it needs to be.

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.
