My Shyness Doesn't Run My Life

Writing is always there to help me express myself

Do you let your insecurities run your life? Are you one of those people that must have other people's opinion to do stuff?

My shyness used to run who I was until I found the outlook of writing. I write to feel inspired and to feel great about myself in a positive way. I don't care about the negative opinions of others I focus on the positive messages I read. The positive messages help people because the negative messages just put our hearts down. Your words speak louder than your actions. I let my voice be heard in my words. People say, "do something you love, and you never will work a day in your life." I don't consider my writing as a job, but I do consider it as something I love.

When one door opens, another one closes. When I got introduced to writing, the door that closed for me was my shyness. When writing I find my heart and I find the person that I want to be. That person is a positive, bubbly person that doesn't let the negativity of others run her life. Your works can reach other people and help them be inspired in a new way that they haven't seen with their own eyes yet.

Often, we let money run our lives because we think money will buy us happiness, but it just makes it worse. Yes, we need money to live, but I would rather write to feel inspired and happy than to have a million dollars.

Writing tells a story of who you are, it gives us a piece of someone's heart. Writing opens a new world of so many different things like imagination and creativity. We wouldn't have some of the greatest authors today if it wasn't for their hidden talents that inspire us.

Writing is my hidden talent and I am glad that I found this open door.

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.
