You Are Right Where You Are Supposed To Be

Stop worrying, you are headed in the right direction.

You Are Right Where You Are Supposed To Be
Angela DeGenova

Have you ever had that feeling of pure happiness? You're surrounded by friends, blasting music, and driving around. The world seems silent like it's just you are driving through it. You know you're stressed and there is a lot going on in your life, but for this one moment none of that matters and everything is calm and okay. You forget your worries and just sit there and smile-Smile for no reason. You're just happy and for a second you realize everything is going to be okay and work out. You don’t want this night to end because you don’t want to fall back into reality.

Those are the moments I live for because they are a reminder that I am exactly where I'm supposed to be.

Life really is not all that complicated; we just seem to make it more difficult than it really is. Everything is not going to be perfect all the time and that is okay. We are young; we are going to live and make mistakes. We are going to get let down and be hurt, but what we have to remember is that none of this will matter in a few years. You will grow from every experience in your life, whether it be good or bad. We have to stop stressing and worrying over little things because they may seem like a big deal now but they won't in the future.

We are uncomfortable when our life is not going as planned or we face an obstacle. People do not like the idea of things not going perfectly. Yet, we have to learn to accept these difficulties we face during our lifetime because that is just how life is.

So drive around blasting music with your friends at night, go to parties, cry on the bathroom floor, and scream when your mad. Just live. Live it all and stop wishing the days away because you are right where you are supposed to be and maybe you can't see that right now, but you are. You are on the right path and all of these experiences are just preparing you for who you are supposed to become and the future you, so just continue to live it and enjoy it all.

A few years from now you'll look back on all of this. You will remember all of the moments that you thought you couldn't keep going. You will remember the breakup that you thought you would never get over, and the friends you thought you wouldn't lose. You'll remember it all and you will realize you should have never been so worried about life back then, because it was simple and you got past it. You were right where you were supposed to be all along.

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.
