When Nothing Has Gone Right

A Desperate Need for Positive Vibes

When Nothing Has Gone Right

If only one thing is certain, it is that life is not always perfect. Unexpected twists appear at every turn, bringing down the overall vibe of life. This dreary, chilly October week has gotten the better of me. It seemed like this week's single goal was to knock me down just when it seemed like I was getting to my feet. Everyone has these weeks, where nothing goes the way it should and it takes everything in your power to not stay deep in bed. In light of my bad week, and the several people who are also having bad weeks of their own, here are a few reminders.

You are incredible

You're strength is amazing. Despite all odds, here you are, facing it all. You have nothing to prove and no one to impress. You are free to do exactly what makes you happy, whether that means taking the world on by your self, or taking the time to regroup and take care of your own health. There is nothing wrong with asking for help. This week is gone and a new one faces ahead. Things will get better; not instantly, but soon. I hope you find something to make you smile, laugh, think, or even just distract you from whatever may be getting you down. Everyone deserves a break. Take your time, take some breaths, and remember this day only lasts so long. A new one will begin.

For me, the end of this week could not have come soon enough. A new one lies ahead, completely new, ready for anything to happen. Time to wait and see what happens next.

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.
