Traveling-- it’s something I’ve always loved and adored every since I was young. It’s both liberating and freeing of the mind, soul, and spirit. It’s something I hold dear to me and that I’ll never let go.

No matter where you go on this Earth, there is so much to see-- the lands, sights, views, cafes, shops, stores, culture, people-- the Earth has it all. It is up to you to open it up as much as possible. Remember, not every four corners of a box is the same. You must learn to find the little differences of the land with every step you take.

There’s nothing like seeing a fresh, new landscape. Whether it be the mountains, the beach, a river, a lake, the plains, a new city-- the opportunities are truly endless. You never know what you are going to run into, right around the corner. Take in every possible sight you can, and, even bring a camera or phone in terms of memory sake.

Shops and stores all around the world are different, unique, and cute, too. With the opening of the doors of any store, you will be blown away by the amount of culture that exists in one of them. I believe that by walking into any shop or store, you get to learn a lot about certain people and cultures that live in that part of the world. It’s truly remarkable.

Every culture, as you probably know, is different around the world. The languages, foods, people, and ways of life are all going to be different, no matter where you go around the world. Traveling is truly mind-opening. You get to see so much that you have always wanted to see and the things that you never even knew existed. It’ll make you question, “What is normal?” By the end of your trip, you may even realize that you’re not normal and no one’s normal and that’s perfectly normal in my book.

The different people around the world are pretty cool, too. In fact, they are quite fascinating. From the way they dress, talk, walk; their sense of mannerism; and a general sense of habitual and societal habits and status-- everyone around the world is truly unique. And by traveling the world, us travelers can play our own, individual part, too. We can show the world, and a specific culture, that we are unique, and that there is more to life than what they already know. They may have the land, food, and language. But, as tourists, the littlest signs of differences make it all.

Traveling truly opens the mind. It’s a magnificent experience and something that everyone should experience. Remember, it’s never too late to travel and see what this world has to offer. Not every place is for everyone; and once you find your place in life, I think that’s pretty great, too. So go ahead. Take a stroll. Let traveling encapsulate your soul.

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.
