5 Things To Remember When Going Through Tough Times
Huffington Post

I have had times where sometimes I feel like life gets the best of me. And sometimes it can get the best of my emotions. Someone can only handle so much that it eventually can overcome us. Whether it is something that is affecting school, work, family, or even my personal/social life. Situations like these can be hard and we may forget our own self-worth. However, we have to remember that tough situations is just a part of life and that we will, eventually, overcome it. Even remembering the best things apart of your life can be helpful in the process of trying to overcome. It is best to remember these few things:

1. This will pass. What what your going through now is normal. Tough times happen to everyone at some point in their lives. Things change, and depending on what it is we have to accept this fact. Eventually, you will get through this.

2. Take care of yourself. We forget about ourselves, when going through stressful times, and it can put us in a bad place. Remembering that you matter most is what is important. It''s okay for your happiness to come first before anyone else's. This does not make you selfish, it only means you're looking out for your own being. So be kind to yourself, this can be one of the best ways to promote healing for your mind and body.

3. Stay away from any negativity. The best thing to do during times like these is to cut out any negativity that is going on through your life. Negativity can be toxic to us. Whether it may be a person, addiction, or bad habit, it is best to stay away from these things. Keeping any negativity in your life will only make your situation. Remove the negativity and focus on the positive aspects of your life.

4. Things happen for a reason. Something to keep in mind is that this could be happening for a reason. Tough times can help us become stronger, realize things we had not grasped before, and even lead us to better things in life. Our tough times, can sometimes be seen as "a blessing in disguise."

5. Remember you have friends and family who support you. While going through times like these, it is best to remember that you have loved ones who care for you dearly. Let them in and tell them what you're going through. These people care for you and would do anything to help you overcome what you're going through.

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.
