2019 Can Still Be Your Year

Even if you've already had a mental breakdown or two, don't forget to stop and smell the daisies.

2019 Can Still Be Your Year
Maddi Mangum

Okay ladies and gents, I get that we can be a little dramatic and sometimes it's comical… But it's four weeks into 2019, and just because of a breakdown or maybe even two doesn't mean this can't be your year.

There are a lot of hiccups that come and go throughout the year. Hence the saying, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

A lot of the struggles that we face aren't permanent and aren't life-altering. So why act like they are when one thing goes wrong in 2019? I think 2019 is the year we all realize there's something bigger in the works when not everything goes our way.

No year is perfect, and some are gonna be harder than others. But again, that doesn't mean it can't be your year because it got hard.

I can't think of one remarkable person who hasn't faced hardship, and for good reason. A lot of times, what makes people stand out or important is the things they accomplished while at their worst or in difficult times.

People have also altered their lives based on bad situations and made their lives 100 times better, helping both themselves and others in the process. For example, people with illnesses who survive and go on to help others with the same illness.

Regardless of what happens in between 2019 and 2020, DO NOT let the first month depict how the rest of the year will go. Again, I get it. It's funny when we are kinda dramatic, but I also know that smalls hiccups are not going to define your whole year…especially when it's only four weeks into the new year.

There's so much negativity that goes on. So why be a Negative Ned about the little things that definitely aren't going to ruin your year, when you can be realistic and know that your year can still be super bomb? After all, you have 11 months left!!

I'm just sayin'.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
