I Used To Wish My Life Was Normal

Now I know normal does not exist.

Way back when I used to think if I could just live a normal life, I'd have it made. Normal life, job, parents, the works. I used to think that normal meant easy. Normal lives is what I thought everyone else had. I looked around and everyone around me appeared to have a normal life, and that is what I wanted. Yet, I had to step out of my little bubble to realize I was wrong. Like, really wrong.

Normal is so unheard of nowadays... And if you think you have a normal life, you should probably reconsider your definition of normal. People have problems, some more than others, but problems are problems. Our president has problems, obvious ones, but that's besides the point. The world obviously has some major problems. If normal even existed anymore, it would be nothing. Normality should not even be considered a thing. If my life was normal, it would consist of doing the same things over repeatedly every single day, with no interactions with the outside world because it's definitely not normal as it is today/ See what I'm saying? It is impossible, but it is also a life that I do not want to live.

Now, I'm glad my life is not normal. I'm glad I always have a little bit of of craziness thrown into my life to somehow make it the perfect concoction of chaotic. It makes it my life. If I honestly had a normal day, I might go insane. I wouldn't know what to do with myself. So next time you think man I wish my life is normal, just know it doesn't exist. Having a normal life means having no life at all.

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.
