Why You Should Stop Talking About It And Go!
Madison Jones

Personally, I was very fortunate to have been born into a family that really loves to travel. I have been extremely blessed to have been given the opportunity to go to many different places around the world. (My all-time favorite place on earth being St. Croix, US Virgin Island.)

I believe that this world was meant to be explored. There is so much beauty and history all around our planet and if you don't get out and go travel, you'll never get the chance to see it for yourself. Although traveling can be pretty pricy, there are tons of ways to travel on a budget or to save money for trips and make it happen!

You can make some of your best memories during trips and traveling. When you aren't home and busy with work or school and you're off traveling somewhere, you almost feel like you're living a different life. One with zero stress, no worries and a whole lot of free time. Going on vacation to simply relax by the beach or hangout at the pool is a lot of fun and much needed. But when you really get outside and go explore the towns, go hike, check out the local restaurants and meet the locals, that is when traveling can be really memorable.

When you go on vacation or go travel somewhere you find yourself with a lot more free time. When you are not busy doing something fun, you should take time to reflect on your life and who you have become. You can think about what path you're headed down and what you want out of your life. Going on vacation to clear your mind and think about the things that are most important to you is super important. We get so busy with our day-to-day lives that we forget to sit down and think about what our plans and goals are. Make sure you get out and travel and take the time to reflect. That way, when you head back to reality you have a clear vision of what you want out of your life and what you need to do to achieve those goals.

Whenever you go to a new place that you have never been, you gain a whole new perspective on life. You get to experience and see how people from a different part of the world live their daily lives and what their culture is like. You get to meet tons of new people and enjoy the beauty of their hometowns.

Most importantly, you need to travel and you need to do it now. We are all getting older with each day that goes by. Take the time that you have now while you are younger and get out there. Too many people dive right into their careers at a young age and they work so hard and so long so that they can save for a new car, a new house or retirement. But what if something were to happen and you didn't make it to your own retirement? You need to stop and enjoy your life, make sure you get to see and do the things you want to do. Make sure you don't take each day and each breath for granted. We are not all guranteed to live to an old age, so make sure you get out and travel while you still can.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
