I'm ready to shock it back to life!

I’ve reached a point in my life where I feel like I’m flatlining.

From day to day, I’m happy. I wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, cuddle my dog, and do it all over again. It’s my routine. I’m used to it.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my routine. I look forward to going home and cuddling up in bed with my dog to watch the newest episode of my favorite shows.

When I do go out, I miss my routine.

I have to force myself to go out half the time.

I’m passed the point of wanting to go out just to get drunk every night.

I’m passed the point of going out to meet a new guy.

I’m content with the people in my life, and the way things are going for me.

But that’s the problem… I’m content.

That’s my biggest mistake.

I go to church every week and feel like I leave all of my faith there.

I’m content with where I’m at in my faith.

Even though I know that I need to grow.

I know that I have so much more to learn.

I hang out with friends and feel constantly on guard.

There is so much that I know I could be so much better if I would just take the time to grow.

I need to make the time.

Not only for myself but for the people around me.

I’m content and I feel like I’m flatlining.

There’s not much sense of adventure.

I’m stuck in this rut that I don’t know how to get out of.

I want to be the best version of myself that I can be.

My life has flatlined and I want to shock it back to life.

I want to pursue my passions, get out of my comfort zone, and just live my life.

Life is too short to not enjoy it to its fullest potenital!

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.
