A Pandemic That Has Changed The Grounds I Walk On

Something that is not only affecting me, but so many others.

A Pandemic That Has Changed The Grounds I Walk On

No school, nowhere to go, everything is closing, faster than we can salvage and basically I am trapped. Yeah being at home is not that bad. But actually, sometimes it can be. School was an escape from getting out of my bed and actually doing something productive at times. Sports is a major role in my life, but it is being taken from me and so many others. I can only imagine what the seniors are feeling right now and everybody else. Not only that, I do not get the in-school learning experiences, nor do I get to see my friends right now. Nor do I think will for awhile.

I have always stayed in a lot of the time. And the weird thing is, I would have never imagined not being allowed to go anywhere. And here I am stuck at home. Not allowed to go out. Not even out to ride around for a little while. I see friends on social media hanging around with each other still and I just only hope that we are not over reacting or under reacting.

Things are being taken from the shelves of every store you can think of. This is making it impossible to even provide for those who actually need things for their home. And I feel bad. I feel terrible.

There are too many things on social media that people are believing, because that is the first thing they see. Who would have thought staying in could cause so much pain though? Not only for myself, but for everybody around the world.

Those at work, what about them? They cannot stay cooped up inside, they have to help. They are tired, more than tired. Stressed and want to be able to figure things out. But we can only hope everything settles down quicker than the virus spreads.

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.
