If Where You Are At In Life Is Suppressing You, Get Out — Your Best Life Awaits

You have to be in a place that you thrive in.

Is where you are at holding you back?

No, I'm not saying you have to go across the globe "to find yourself" because how realistic is that, really? It's so much more than a location, it's a mentality as well.

This can mean so many different things.

If you are living in a home that is toxic, make a plan to get out. Notify other loved ones, friends, counselors, teachers, co-workers, doctors, anyone. Make the move for yourself.

If you are at a school that does not make you happy anymore, see what your options are to transfer. Seek guidance from an advisor, family, and financial support.

If you are in a relationship that is horrible for your mind, do what is best for you and leave. Have a conversation with that person or reach out to others to help remove yourself from the situation.

If you are in a bad place mentally, seek the help that will get you out of that dark place. There are more people in the same shoes than you think. Someone will be able to help you get out of the hole you feel you are in. Doctors, therapists, counselors, friends, and family want you to enjoy your life. Just say one sentence, "help me".

Don't think you are confined to one place, one person, or one mindset. This is so false.

You are so much more than your surroundings and you should never feel like you are being held back from your best self or your best life. You are worthy of a happy, fulfilling life, so go get it.

Don't feel that you have to stay in a place you are placed in. You are capable of what you want to achieve no matter what anyone says.

Don't listen to excuses that come from within you or from other people. You can obtain the resources, guidance, and motivation if you just look towards the right places.

Life is so short. And I know you have heard that before, but it truly is. You have to make it what you want it to be. Before you know it, days, months, and years will go by and you won't have changed what you need to. Make small changes now. Or make big changes now. Growth is not supposed to be comfortable, but it's worth it.

You can do this, I promise. Your best life is waiting for you.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
