Are we truly alone?

14 Thoughts You Have While Home Alone at Night
Home Alone

When we were younger, we would relish the day when mom and dad would not get us a baby sitter and we could be home alone. It was a tiny glimpse of independence, even if it was only for a few hours. The feeling became even more gratifying when we could spend the night alone. Some of us enjoy having the house to ourselves, and others prefer some company. The latter definitely applies when we are alone past sundown. Maybe it was a movie we watched, a story we read or maybe our brains just go wild when we are in a house alone. Who knows where your mind goes when you have the place to yourself.

1. Party!

Okay maybe not throwing an actual party, but you still can play your music and TV as loud as you want.

2. What am I going to eat?

Or maybe the question should be, "What can I eat without having to cook it?"

3. What movie should I watch?

Why are horror movies a popular choice?

4. What was that noise?

It was just the wind, right?

5. Is it safe to use the bathroom?

You have to go, but that hallway sure is dark.

6. What if someone breaks in while I'm showering?

When you are naked, you are completely defenseless.

7. I heard that noise again!

Now you are sure someone or something is in the house.

8. Food can be a weapon.

I can defend myself with this frozen piece of beef.

9. I'll just check to see if someone is outside... Nope I saw someone!

Was it your neighbor taking the garbage out at night or someone planning on breaking into your house?

10. If I run, the shadows won't get me.

You sprint down the halls to the safety of your room.

11. I should just relax and go to sleep.

It'll be difficult, but you are going to try.

12. That was a different noise!

And sleep will definitely not be returning to you anytime soon.

13. Thank God, they're home.

Now you can rest easy knowing your parents are home and the house is safe once again.

14. I can handle myself perfectly fine by myself.

You think knowing the cycle will repeat the next time your parents go out.

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.
