Thoughts on our space in a crazy world

Let's talk about life
Neil Wade

1. Ray Bradbury - "Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories."



2. Lucy Christopher - “…It is hard to hate someone once you understand them."

3. Ashe Vernon - "There is an infinite number of things we don't know and, statistically speaking, at least half of them are probably very, very beautiful."

4. Wayne Gretzky - “You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.”

5. Haruki Murakami - "As time goes on you'll understand. What lasts, lasts; what doesn't, doesn't. Time solves most things. And what time can't solve, you have to solve yourself."

6. Emma Watson - “I don’t want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself.” -


7. “I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.” - Maya Angelou


8. “I am going to pretend that all life is just a game which I must play as skilfully and fairly as I can. If I lose, I am going to shrug my shoulders and laugh—also if I win.” - Jean Webster

9. “I raise up my voice – not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard.” - Malala Yousafzai

10. "The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity." - Amelia Earhart

11. "There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing." Aristotle
12. “I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart; I am, I am, I am.” - Sylvia Plath

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.

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.
