To The Person Who's Struggling

Let The Road Take Care Of It

To The Person Who's Struggling

It's easy to get lost, to lose all track of yourself. It's easier to let life's troubles and obstacles cloud your soul and the things you want the most in life. People look at other other people and assume that they have it better, they assume that their worlds are the only ones falling apart, and that is not even close to the truth. The truth is, every one has their bad days and their good; every one cries and laughs, and every single person on this earth has experienced loss, pain, heartbreak, and numbness; we just only show people what we want them to see, but all the other things, we keep hidden.

Instead of casting your problems on to others, onto the nothingness of the world, and slipping deeper and deeper in to your own head and losing yourself with in your own darkness, I want you to try something.

Get in your car, turn on your favorite music as loud as you can handle it, turn on an old back road, and just drive. Drive to no destination, drive with out care. Focus on the music blaring through the speakers, feel the vibrations in your body, feel the loneliness on the night, while your headlights tear through it. Focus on nothing else.

You feel the feeling of peace again, you feel the tears dry, the problems fade for just a little part of your day and the only thing you sense to care about is that road, that song, and the feeling running through your entire core. It's the feeling of euphoria, the feeling of life again. I promise you, it will change you. The red light ahead will look different, the shadows with in the trees will look more beautiful, little things become big things, and for that hour or two your in your own world, you are lost within yourself, and for the first time in a long time, you feel like you and what you want will truly matter. It's euphoria.

I don't expect a simple car ride to no where will fix all life problems, but I know it will fix that night for you. It will fix the feeling of numbness for an hour, it will fix you. To the person who's struggling right now; you are not weak, you are not impossible to handle, and you are going to get through this.

Find simplicity with in yourself, find simplicity in something you love doing, and find the love you once had for something. Life also has a way of changing, life has a way of working it self out, so please hold on. Hold on for another morning, another sunrise, because you never know it, but the next sunrise could be your euphoria.

To the person who is struggling; get in your car, and let the music do the rest. A song, a single song could change the mood of any single person, and it can fix you too.

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.
