So many of us have downloaded the app TimeHop, an app used to look back on some of our memories that have graced the presence of various forms of social media over the years. Some of the memories are funny, some are sad and some just make us shake our heads. I had the app for a while before getting rid of it and then downloading it again because I missed it. While, I like looking back on my life and seeing how far I have come, there is just some things that I would rather not be reminded of. Pictures of people who I no longer talk to, wall posts from old friends and old tweets from darker times of my life. You could say well, you could have just not allowed it to access those tweets but I had forgotten about all of that so here I am feeling the exact way that I did then all of these years later. This app while being great in some aspects is just too painful sometimes. I am reminded of the things that I have worked so hard to forget and leave behind. The friendships that have severed for one reason or another, the things in my life that didn’t go as planned and the pictures that I would rather not have to look at anymore. I actually enjoy my life now and would rather not be reminded of the person that I used to be. I would rather look back at the good memories of my life and spend more time living in the moment rather then dwelling on the past. Life is way too short to dwell on what could have been. It is better to have lived a life full of good memories and good times. As I am writing this, I just deleted my TimeHop account and I have to say it felt pretty good. I realized that I don’t really need or want it anymore. It is a waste of time and space on my phone. I hate the way that it made me feel about myself. I would open it with curiosity about what memories would come up that day only to be left with sadness and regret of opening the app in the first place. I don’t care about the memories, the streak, abe the dino, I care about my wellbeing. I care about my mental health. I do not care about Time Hop. Good Riddance to this terrible app. I will not miss it!

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.
