We Have to Change Our Ways Before It's Too Late!

Stop what you're doing, eating and thinking! You are better than that. you are a freaking beautiful human, a glamorous universe within the one we all live in, and that is what you're doing? You are better than that!

Our world is coming to an end. Life as we know it is coming to an end. You are coming to an end. What do we, what do you have to show for the life you're living. Nothing. Have you served your purpose? What have you contributed to the life around you other than proving you can sleep with the most people, chug the most, study hard, or get good grades?

Is that what life is all about, YOLO? It's not you only live once, it's you only die once, so make the best of it. It is sad to say that your life is limited, but that is the truth. So, make sure you are working towards conquering the world to make it a better place and make life sway the opposite of where we are headed towards. In other words, make the world more round and less like a square.

You may ponder on the question of, "Who is he to judge the life I live?" Let me answer that for you, I'm not. I want you to judge the life you live. I only want you to see that life is more than just living for the moment. I like to live by the quote by Immortal Technique, "The purpose of life is a life with a purpose, so I'd rather die for a cause than live a life that is worthless."

You should consider living in a similar way, according to this quote. For those of you who do not understand, just reread it and find what it means in your life. To me, this quote stood for the reason people are put on Earth. It showed me that humans have to live a more meaningful life. What is a meaningful life? That, my friends, you have to define it for yourself. A meaningful life to me is a life that works towards making the world a better place by trying to live life more like humans and less like slaves, robots and zombies. Find your meaningful life, and live it.

Furthermore, do not allow this world go down the toilet. I know you all serve a meaningful purpose, so fulfill it. I keep saying that this world is going down the toilet. Have you not seen the world around you? There is a bigger world with life other than the small one you are living in. So be considerate of people all over the world, and be thankful for what you have because people would kill to have what you have, even a drink of clean water.

We have to reject the method of divide and conquer. We are all divided by one thing or another and we end up fighting each other rather than fighting what caused it. Take a deep breath and clear your hateful thoughts of hatred against race, color, political views, religion, sports team, and whatever people argue about. Learn how to love more than hate. We have to lead by example and show the world and the youth that we may come from different backgrounds and have more or less advantages, but we still have to come together and celebrate life with peace and love.

I apologize for telling you to stop doing what you are doing. Go ahead and continue. Just know the world needs you. We are all a piece to the puzzle and we won't know what the picture is if you are not doing your part. So go live life and keep that spark in your heart, so you may show others that you still care.

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.
