You Know You’re From TR When...

In This Article:

For those who have never heard of the abbreviation "TR." It stands for Travelers Rest. Travelers Rest is a small town located in Greenville, South Carolina. This is my hometown that I grew up in from my primary years until the end of my high school career. Here is a list of things that only people from TR would understand.

1. Walmart is the only place open past 10pm .

2.  Everyone knows EVERYONE! 

3.    Sayings like “We Are TR” will stick around forever.

4.     Fans are there at every Friday night football game win or lose.

5. You know ALL the words to "Don't Stop Believin."

6.  You have heard all the rumors about Paris Mountain.

7.    Riding around back roads for "fun."

8.  Seeing someone you know at any local store.

9.   Eating at Whistle Stop, Sidewall Pizza or Farm House Tacos.

10. A community that comes together.

Growing up in a small town Is a great thing that I wish everyone could experience. Although, most people that I run into now do not know where Travelers Rest is located or they think it's some sort of rest stop. I want them to know Travelers Rest is much more than that. TR is filled with a loving community that comes together for the good and bad and although we may have moved apart and gone our separate ways, our love and memories will always last!

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.
