Why It's OK Not To Know

We don't have to know everything, just a few things.

Why It's OK Not To Know
Glamour

There are many things out in the world not a single person knows anything about, with that being said, it's OK to not know everything. There are many people out there who don't know what major they want, who they want to spend the rest of their life with, or even what to eat for dinner. I just want to tell you that it's OK. You don't need to be pressured by anyone or anything to make up your mind before you are ready to. It is your life, do what makes you happy.

The future is always changing and so are you, which is why you never know exactly what is going on in your own life, let alone the world around you. If something dramatic happens in life and you feel like you need to change something, do it. There is not a single person in the world who can tell you how to live your life. (Needless to say please don't do anything illegal) Whether it be your best friend, parent, adviser, or your sibling; do what makes you happy not them.

It's always perfect to know exactly what you want to do and when you are planning to achieve that goal, but if something goes awry, don't sweat it. You can switch up your plan, or even completely change your mind. Do you want to know why? BECAUSE IT'S YOUR LIFE! You decide whether to follow through with your well thought out 5 year plan, or trash it and start new. There is nothing stopping you from achieving your dreams or discovering a new dream.

Life is full of struggles, but that is what makes it life. There isn't a day where you aren't facing a struggle whether it be internal or external, but you still have to keep going on. You can't just give up, that isn't what I am trying to say, I want you to keep pushing yourself to be successful, but if you don't know what to do next you have to think about it with yourself. No one can tell you what decisions to make in life, but you just have to decide what to do 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.
