Balancing Hobbies: Relationships

It is an extremely hard task balancing a busy, task loaded life and a relationship with someone you love and cherish. You know what needs to be done, but you also want to give the person you care about all of your time and attention. I want to talk about the relationship that I recently just experienced that unfortunately crashed and burned with an unrelenting fury and never ending burning passion. Loving someone is extremely difficult when you are overburdened with a large amount of schoolwork and other overwhelming responsibilities such as work, healthy living habits, or other things that consume your time or space. Being there for someone is difficult and if you do not want to make the sacrifices, then you do not need to be someone else's "love."

Making the conscious decision to care about someone else is an important decision. Whether you know if you are ready or not is something that you need to feel in your hear, in your mind, and in your soul. Believing whether or not you are ready cones from a deep decision inside yourself that you have to be sure whether or not you can allow room inside for another person's existence. Making compromises, having arguments, growing as an individual and as a couple; these are all things that you need to be sure you are ready for as an adult who is trying to accept someone else in your life and your heart.

It is very obvious that I am someone who recently went through a breakup if you cannot tell. I am somebody who wishes that the person who made promises and someone who told me everything that I wanted to hear was someone who wanted to be with me for real. The things you say tom someone in moments of compassion and vulnerability are meaningful and they believe you when you make promises of compassion and love. I believe love is an important part of growing and becoming an adult.

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.
