What A Beautiful Thing

Our worlds are so minuscule but so complex.

What A Beautiful Thing
BBC

Do you ever just look at yourself? Like really take a long look and notice every single ounce of your being? Like how many hairs it takes to fill your head, or the different waves and breaks of color that make up your warm eyes. Or something as simple as a scar on your body that holds a memory reminding you by the notion of your skin repairing itself. I've taken notice of these little things; the veins in my mother's hands and how busy they always seem to be, the smile lines on my grandma's face and how they make her smile seem that much brighter-every little detail bringing me peace. The human form and all that it has to offer reminds me of the beauty of life.

Our bodies are thought of as an individual entity-- as a whole we are either in-shape, out-of-shape, strong, weak, etc. But what little pieces and parts make you the way you do? Each organ and cell and mechanism functioning a certain way to make you feel just so. How everything affects one another, and the chain reaction that is life itself with this interweaving design. Isn't it interesting how signals from your brain and your emotions, your radar almost, drives your actions and movements? But yet we are so small. The way we look at the world around us and our place within the world, we forget to notice and acknowledge all the little details that are working for us and falling into place so we can see the bigger picture. Our worlds are so minuscule but so complex.

I suppose I don't have an exact point I'm trying to make, nothing more than observations. I just can't fathom how every little detail had to be just so and how perfect everything has to work together and fit for us to be here; for us to be surrounded by loved ones. Your functioning body-a house for your soul, works continuously individually and as an entire entity so that we can find our purpose in life; to find joy, love and happiness. What a beautiful thing that is..

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.
