Trial And Error

Thriving for less worries and less craziness.

Trial And Error
Captured by MGG

My favorite part about the ocean is feeling so small.

Fewer worries, fewer emotions and less craziness in the world for those few moments are always worth it. Nowadays, while watching and hearing about the craziness in this world, it’s challenging to choose to focus on the good parts.

Everyone has a different interpretation of this world. We have the choice to see this world as deadly, cruel and destructive. We can see it as hopeless and depressing.

Even though I do get in those funks sometimes where I get sad about what our world has been, I see it as a perfect time to have a chance to make a difference and experience true love with real people. In my opinion, our world needs more people who aren’t going to be afraid to forgive, who aren’t going to be afraid to love people without fearing of not being loved back, who aren't afraid to go against the norm or help as many people as you can without asking for anything in return. Things aren’t going to go perfectly by any means, and people aren't always going to agree with you or appreciate you.

Life is a big game of trial and error. The beauty of this is finding out the real people of the world, helping people in need and finding true happiness in whatever that maybe.

Let’s be less focused on the hating and more focused on things that actually matter by caring for one another through thick and thin and realizing this life isn’t forever.

Always find the good in the world, even if it’s hard to recognize, because life is too dang short for negativity.

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.
