Calming Images For When The World Is Just Too Much To Handle

If you're anything like me, then you frequently get overwhelmed when watching the news or scrolling through social media, especially when tragic news stories are trending. As an introvert, an empath and someone who feels everything very deeply, I often feel like I need a break from the world and the hate that exists in it. Whenever I get overwhelmed and wish I had a way to escape, I often pick up my favorite book or video game. That's not always an option for everyone, though. Sometimes, this feeling of being overwhelmed can hit us while at work, school or somewhere we're unable to just get up and drop everything to make ourselves feel better. For times like these, we need something calming that we can quickly access and instantly feel at peace again. These beautiful and soothing images may not be a permanent escape, but they will make you feel better!

These images and photos can help with any stress that you may be going through. The world may seem like it's a mess right now, but these really capture the essence of another world. They almost seem unreal! We may not be able to permanently escape reality, but we can find ways to cope with it. We also may not be able to bring peace to the world, but we can bring peace to ourselves, even if only for a brief moment. Enjoy these images and use them to help yourself cope with whatever may be causing you stress.

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.
