When in Doubt, Book a Flight

You're not getting any younger or any less busy so why not just go?

When in Doubt, Book a Flight

This day and age, it seems like we're growing up faster, becoming more independent sooner (or so we might think). It seems like life keeps throwing us projects and taking away the hours in a day. In a fast paced world, it's not hard to realize that sometimes all you need is a break.

I'm sure we've all made an imaginary bucket list, that holds a permanent place in our minds, detailing all the places we'd love to see. So, why not pick one? You're not getting any younger or any less busy so why not just go?

Take a friend, maybe it's someone you'd like to get closer with or maybe it's someone you know like that back of your hand. Regardless of who you take with you, just go!

If you haven't noticed by now, there isn't any time left for feeling sorry for yourself. If you're uncertain about something and can't seem to shake that feeling, have you ever thought that maybe getting out of the environment you're in 24/7 might help?

Allow the whole process of the trip to push you out of the funk and into a state of awe. A state where you can't believe the world is really this beautiful. Take a ton of pictures from your plane window. Hold a conversation with your Uber driver. Thank the maids who make your hotel bed every morning. Eat like a local. Eat like a tourist.

Uprooting yourself- even if only for a week- allows you to throw out that uncertainty so that you have more room in your mind and heart to soak up all the new adventures awaiting your arrival. You deserve some fun, so what are you waiting for? Do one thing everyday that scares you, right?

Whatever you do and wherever you go, do it passionately. When in doubt, book a flight.

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.
