Find a balance

Anyone who's gotten wrapped up in a new job, school, or just the little nuisances life can throw your way, will understand what I'm talking about when I say it can be difficult to find a balance; one aspect of your life will naturally take precedence over others. It's okay to devote your time to the things that must get done, but it's critical to your happiness and success that you find the time to continue pursuing what you love. It may feel like an impossible task at first, but after an adjustment period, you will notice things will get easier. Sometimes you have to rebuild from nothing, and sometimes you only have to make a few changes to get back to your place of content pursuit.

If it all feels too overwhelming, just remember to take a moment and breathe. Life won't always feel like such a whirlwind of events. You may not even remember in the future the things that overwhelmed you so much in the moment, but you will remember if you allowed those circumstances to take away from your dreams. Life is a balancing act no matter what, just remember to always provide weight for the things that truly matter to you. Keep pushing forward through the overwhelm, the anxiety, and the belief that your dreams shouldn't be made a priority.

Your dreams matter. Your passions carry meaning to you and the world around you. Don't get swallowed up in the chaos life can entail. Continue working toward that balance and see how much happier of a life you can lead when you make time for the priorities in your life.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
