One of the biggest struggles in my life is deciding what I want for lunch. Do I want the taco salad or chipotle chicken wrap? Do I want to go for a run now or later tonight? Everywhere I go, it is a process making decisions. Let me tell you, drive-throughs are my worst enemy just ask any of my friends.

No, it's not actually the subjects of the situations that are hard, it's the decision making process. I've always wanted to be sure of what I want whether it's as simple as what I want to eat for lunch or as major as what I want to do with my life. I am a big messy ball of unmade decisions and unsaid opinions and theories. It's been my downfall for as long as I can remember. I've always craved self-assurance and simplicity.

I am here today to explain to you that I am achieving self-assurance and simplicity. Two characteristics that I have wanted to implement in my life for years, and I've done this by accepting who I am. I've come to love my messy mind. It keeps me on my toes, I'm always consumed by emotion and thinking about something thought to provoke. I've come to realize that I am a very thorough and mindful person. I like my decisions to be drawn out to be sure that I am doing what's best for me and my happiness. My overactive mind allows me to do things that I love to do, like content creating.

What I've come to realize is, how incredibly important it is to be true to yourself. Be true to your character, your body, your opinions, your values. Be true to every aspect of your being. Because it's who you are. If you want to change something about your life or character, make sure you're doing it for your best interest, not someone else's. As long as you are being the best person you can be for yourself then is there really that much that you need to change about yourself?

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.
