You Just Have To Survive

Why surviving is all you can do.

You Just Have To Survive
Picturequotes.com

There are too many moments in life where we fall apart. It’s something we don’t lie about unless we need to so others can stay happy and know you’re actually stable. We use phrases such as “I’m hanging in there,” “I’m doing okay,” and one I’ve been using quite a lot this semester alone, “I’m surviving as best I can.”

This is a phrase that doesn’t only have people believe you when you’re lying, but it’s also a phrase that can actually prove you’re trying to deal with your life instead of wanting to hide in a corner and cry. Me, it’s sometimes all I want to do. Sometimes all I want to do is overthink everything that’s been going on in my life. Sometimes all I want to do is tell people what’s wrong even though it may have happened too far in the past or they just don’t care (it all depends on the person).

The phrase itself actually helps me get through my days. Surviving is the best word to use in any type of situation, it’s all you can do while you’re still living on this planet we call Earth. You’re standing on your own two feet, you’re capable of using your arms to move things around, you’re in one beautiful piece; in the short version of this conclusion, you are indeed surviving.

Even of something happens to makes you not capable of one of these three things, just remember you’re still breathing and that’s all that matters. Breathing is the main key of surviving on this planet. Every single day something happens whether it’s you it’s happening to, a friend, a co-worker, the lost goes on, an event that happens shouldn’t stop you from wanting to keep living the days on this Earth.

Everything happens for a reason, as upsetting but true as it sounds, and nothing to going to happen to change what already occurred. A loved one passing, you failing a test, a friend being anger by another friend for reasons so nonrelevant it causes a huge pile of unnecessary drama. No matter what happens and how it occurs, you just have to keep on surviving; it’s all you can do no matter what Karma randomly throws or you or what God decides for you.

It’s important to realize all the negatives will help you form who you are but it can’t become who you are; and the fact we can push them away makes it simple enough to keep surviving every day we are still on this Earth. So the next time you go up someone and they how you are, just say the saying I’ve been saying since the beginning of the semester, “I’m surviving as best I can.”There are too many moments in life where we fall apart. It’s something we don’t lie about unless we need to so others can stay happy and know you’re actually stable. We use phrases such as “I’m hanging in there,” “I’m doing okay,” and one I’ve been using quite a lot this semester alone, “I’m surviving as best I 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.

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.
