You Are "Adulting" Just Fine

If you're trying hard, then you're doing it right.

You Are "Adulting" Just Fine

We spend at least half of our lives trying to figure out what "Life" is. I don’t know this for a fact, no one really does either, but Life is this: It’s you sitting, or standing or laying down reading this article. Within that half of time we will spend about a quarter of it trying to figure out who we are and the rest doubting whether it’s good enough for everyone else. Some people are “ahead of the curve” and they figure it out a little sooner than you did, but even then the mighty can fall. Some people are born into it, a steady route to success. Yet, we’re all casualties on Earth; all of us just people, vulnerable to the woes and the gifts of Life. All of us trying to figure it out. All of us trying to find out who we are. So, relax, it’s okay. You are “adulting” just fine. Everything is time. Be patient.

Here are some Harry Potter quotes that, hopefully, help you sleep better at night when you're wondering "why?":


1.

Trial and Error. It's how we get back up that defines who we are. Try it. Again. And again. And again.

2

A friend of mine once said to me "don't worry about something until you have something to worry about." Cross the bridge when you get there.

3.

What is a life without love? It is what makes us utterly unique; that we can love beyond reason.

4.

I know this one is harder to do than to say. Try reminding yourself that you are good enough. There is no one on this Earth that is just like you. So who better to say what you're capable of then you?

5.

Don't get stuck on your mistakes; we all make them. Learn from those mistakes.

6.

This one... I couldn't say it better myself.

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.
