Why Life Is Scary And What We Need To Do About It
We Heart It

Time. That is what's scary about life. Time goes by with a blink of an eye. You may hear this a lot, but it is true. It makes you want to wish everything could slow down for a bit. The sad reality is that it's not going to slow down. You may think at this moment your life is moving pretty slow, but honey, it is only going by faster. I want to talk about this because there are a few things I believe we should do since life goes by pretty fast without us even knowing.

The first thing I highly encourage everyone to do is to spend time with loved ones-- family and friends. I know, this is pretty cheesy but it couldn't be any truer. In regards to your family, you should cherish the moments spent with them because it sadly may not happen in the future. In regards to your friends, just enjoy every moment you get with them. Stop staring at your phone and actually spend quality time with them because friends come and go in life--who knows the friends you have now may not be there for you in the future.

Do what you love. If you're stuck at a loser job where you get paid a loser income, just stop. Stop working there. Do something with your life and go find a better job where you will get the amount you should be getting paid. Life is too short to flip burgers at a fast food restaurant (I know not all of you probably flip burgers but you get what I'm saying!) You deserve so much better than that.

Life is way too short, so why not be adventurous? This world is so huge and there is so much that needs to be explored, by you! You'll learn a lot about the planet you live in and also learn a lot about yourself too by being adventurous. If you don't have the money now to do such a thing, then save up! Save up those moolahs because in the end you will know it was worth it.

Another thing you should consider is to get out of your comfort zone. Go do something that scares you. Again, life is too short. It's too short to hide underneath your covers and not do stuff that will give you the thrills. Stop being so scared and overcome your fears. If it's going to take some time for you to get out of your comfort zone then that's totally fine. Just give it a while and work on overcoming your fears.

Life does go by super fast and it's about time we start taking some actions because time is not going to slow down for us. It's not going to slow down for anybody.

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.
