Traveling can allow acceptance and open-mindedness, the life lessons we should be learning.

Traveling the world can broaden your horizons and make new experiences that could define you and bring you tranquility. While traveling to London, I was able to understand the culture and diversity a trip across the pond could give me. When we first arrived there I was in no mood to learn different history or try new foods but after finding new friends, I was able to open up to different philosophies and arts. Voyaging to the U.K. made me realize how truly patriotic but also lustful of the life I have and the one I could have there. The more open opportunities and exclusive cottage towns with sweets shops down the road made me covet the lifestyle of some British, but my home town brought me back to why I live where I do. Traveling is, in my opinion, the best way to appreciate the world we live in and the beauty of tomorrow.

Learning new philosophies of life and different world views help us understand and resonate with the one we want to portray. Either listening to the churning your own cheese or devoting countless hours to prayer, we must accept variety and varying humanities and lifestyles. Visiting nearby or far away cities can help us achieve this. I believe acceptance, love, and peace are the best thing we can bring into this world and negative, unappreciative energy can destroy dreams and emotions even far away. Traveling lets us explore different souls, cities and surroundings for new loves, lives, and environments. We can learn the importance of traditions and the excitement of new ones, from pouring tea on cracked clay to killing the beast of the feast, we all take part in rituals we would want to share with the world so why not try new ones today.. With the ever-growing fear spreading across borders, it seems like people are less likely to leave their safe space because of extremists trying to destroy happiness. By traveling we can start the beginnings of a new, loving world and create a more compassionate society to grow in.

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.
