To The Ones Who Changed Their Mind

It's okay to change your mind, it's not a crime nor is it something your able to be judged for.

To The Ones Who Changed Their Mind

It is okay to change your mind. Believe it or not, it takes a certain type of person to be able to find the strength to change their mind. Take it from me, changing my mind and twisting my world into a completely different path was when I was most vulnerable and confused. But it's okay.

Changing your mind can be as simple as ordering pizza and changing it to a sandwich at a restaurant or as complicated as wanting to leave you dream school almost immediately. Of course the most complicated one is the one I'm really talking about here.

Though it's one hundred times more complicated, messy, scary and concerning it's still the same idea. The same idea, that there is nothing wrong with changing your mind NO matter what the situation is.

Being away at school I learned so much about myself. I learned how much growing I still have to do. I learned that even though I could probably get used to it and have a wonderful four years away from home, I wasn't ready and it wasn't for me. I changed my mind, I needed to leave my dream school and come home. Pursuing the same destination just at a different destination is what success looked like for me.

I missed my house, I missed my family, but most of all I missed myself and the person I had been prior to going away to school. Every day I ask myself if I made a mistake but then every day I remind myself how much better I feel, how proud I am for being brave enough to change my mind. It made me better person and I proved to myself that again, it's is okay to change your mind.

If someone who is in the midst of changing their mind is stuck on whether to fight through what they are going through or to simply change their mind, the answer is change your mind. I promise it'll be a time to ponder back on and remind yourself of how strong and brave you truly were.

Once again, it is okay to change your mind, I promise no one has the power to judge you.

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.
