Our Youth Is Always Within Us, We Just Don't Let It Out Enough

"That the way we acted in this past and those experiences we encountered have shaped us into the people that we are today."

Childhood, the years that we possessed within the young ages that we enjoyed spending time with our families and getting to know the world around us. We still are doing the same, but these ties have become invisible as we aren't constantly with the people that we love yet we hold them close to our hearts. Escaping youth is what we believe to be necessary in order to progress in life, but it will always be a piece of us at every step we take. Running away from this is constant as we think that we are driving our future into success, yet leaving the past behind. It's time that we realize that the way we acted in this past and those experiences we encountered, have shaped us into the people that we are today.

It's simple to remember a time that nothing worried us and we were just completely free in all aspects of our lives. Yet if it was always that way, we wouldn't be progressing at all. Something that we don't consider is letting ourselves go back to that mindset even just for a few minutes every day to escape our reality and dream a little more. Dreams can become a reality and in this generation, we are immediately triggered by negativity which enables us from living and incorporating positive thoughts into our daily lives. Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of bad things have happened but we need to remember the good things that we grew up on which never fail to make us happy.

If we can go to that place even just for a little bit at times, we can speak upon our own passions and ideas as well as connect with others on a positive level. We all had a youth, a time that we were carefree and growing into ourselves as we still are which is definitely ok. Life is constantly moving as we are, but we tend to forget that we all had a childhood and were younger at some point as curious as the next person. Curiosity develops ideas and is only a positive aspect of a being which we all are afraid of due to the dangers that could be brought upon because of a certain thought

This notion creates fear to do the impossible as we are only reaching for something in front of us instead of far into the distance. We induce fear within our own lives to create safety for not failing, which doesn't assist us in creating change at all. The more that we instill the positivity that we felt in our youth within our everyday lives as well as the next generation, we could be creating an even bigger change larger than ourselves. Re-visiting your glory days will only assist you in seeking the happiness that you want in your life today, tomorrow, or even the next day. You hold all of the power in your own feelings and emotions, so take what makes you happy and run with it.

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.
