When Nothing Goes Your Way

They say everything can be fixed, but when will the unfixable be resolved?

More times than not things will not go the way you want them to or thought they ever would. This moments are the ones where you will find yourself crying to a friend or family member. These are the times were you will find yourself losing hope.

Sometimes things are hard to pay. Sometimes you come from a family of very little money, and even as you are working day and night trying to prove yourself, your college tuition is just too much and you don't know what to do.

Sometimes a friend gets killed in the middle of the night. Sometimes you wake up to dozens of texts and phone calls from people you haven't spoken to in years and they are sharing their condolences for something you hadn't been aware even occurred yet.

Sometimes you work so hard to reach a goal and fail at the last moment. Sometimes you know exactly what you need to achieve and what you need to do, yet you still somehow manage to fall short.

Sometimes you feel so lost because everything you had known is now falling apart. Sometimes you get a phone call from home saying that you're losing your home, or a family member is sick and you can't do anything because you are too far away.

Sometimes life throws you so many curveballs you run out of hands. Sometimes you have things coming at you from so many different directions that you think you will never find your way out of it.

If you are anything like me, you know what it is like to reach that point where it feels like your world is just going to fall apart and that this time nothing is going to be able to fix it. No matter how many times I have tried things I have felt so lost through all of it. I don't know how I am going to fix any of it, and many things I know I cannot, yet I still try.

They tell you not to stress out about it all, but if things don't get figured out now then they never will. And sometimes one stressful thing triggers another and you don't know how to fix it leading to everything falling apart.

They say everything can be fixed, but when will the unfixable be resolved?

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.
