Do You Ever Feel Like You Want To Run Away?

Because it's completely normal...

Sometimes life can be a little too overwhelming and things can get very stressful. Sometimes all we want to do is run away and never look back because sometimes disappearing is easier than dealing with all the problems and issues that life throws at you.

And that is totally normal. I think everyone feels this way and just wants to be able to escape reality every once in a while.

It's okay to want to take a break from the real world. However, don't just disappear to somewhere you can't ever come back from. Yes, life sometimes can be a pain, but that's what makes it life - it has its ups and downs, but you just have to deal with it. You have to take the good with the bad because escaping your life just isn't realistic. And, yes, sometimes it just seems like the easier thing to do, but that isn't how you get through life.

Life will never just be rainbows and sunshine - with every sunny day there is bound to be a rainy day, too.

Take life by the reigns and conquer every difficult day so you can enjoy all the good ones, too. If you try to escape your life and responsibilities there may be certain things that you miss out on that can positively impact your life. But you will never know because you chose to run. It may seem like nothing will ever go your way, but trust me, one day everything will turn out to be great.

Fear has two meanings - forget everything and run or face everything and soar. The choice is yours.

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.
