What I Really Want From Life

Sometimes life sucks, but keeping our goals in mind is something everyone should do.

What I Really Want From Life
Maizy Landreth

I have spent so much time searching what from life and from myself. Here is to all of those who want the most out of life, and won't stop until they get it. Here is for the hard workers, the bright thinkers. Here's to, well, here is to you.

Really, I want success. I want to wake up every day and know that I am in the right place and doing the right things. I want to have a good feeling when I see what I have done with myself. I want to make people proud and feel appreciated for doing what I love the most.

Really, I want family. I want to share my love with someone who shares it back. I want someone to share my views and my passions with. I want to grow up knowing I have left footsteps for my loved ones to follow. The family I have now is wonderful in every way, and I want to keep our heart alive.

Really, I want faith. I want to believe in something. I want to know my life is in good hands. I want something to keep me together when I fall apart. Knowing that someone is there, when it feels no one else is.

Really, I want a friend. Not those fake friends that will walk all over me. But a real true friend. I want someone who is there for me no matter when. Those that I have now, I hope they stay. I want them to be there forever.

Really, I want happiness. I want to smile. I want to bring joy to other people. I want life to mean something to me, and my life to others. I want my words to leave an imprint on peoples minds. I want happiness for myself, not from others. I want to create my own heart and desire and show people how it can be to do things for yourself, and be the best you that can be.

Really, I want my life. Sometimes LIFE IS HARD. It takes you on this crazy ride that seems like its never ending. This alone can be hard enough. Add in all the worlds negativity. The body shaming, the hate crimes, the technology. Its one big pot of negative weighing on top of surviving and keeping sane. Its so easy to think about how easy things would be without it all, but is that what I want? Do I want to throw it all away just for a break? No, I want to grow. I want to experience. I want to feel everything, even the pain. Without the pain, there is nothing to compare my ease to. Without the ease, I would never know the pain and how to change it.

There is so much to get out of our time here, make the best of it. Find what you want and go for it.

But this, this is what I want.

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.
