I absolutely cannot wait for Spring

And here's why...

I absolutely cannot wait for Spring

After the mounds of snow melt away and the grass begins to show itself again there's a change in the world around us and I cannot wait for it.

I can't wait for the smell of fresh air blowing around bringing up the earthy scents that I've missed so dearly

I can't wait for the sun to consistently be shining and creating the warm spots on the carpet in your house

I can't wait to open my blinds again and let the light in

I can't wait to cruise down a road with the windows down and good music playing

I can't wait to lay in the grass

I can't wait to ride my bike, go rollerblading, or just go for a walk

I can't wait to see people outside again

I can't wait to pitch my hammock and read a book outside

I can't wait for spring sports to start

I can't wait to wear dresses and skirts and shoes that aren't clunky winter boots

I can't wait for longer, brighter days

I can't wait to do crafts or home-improvement projects outside

I can't wait to be excited to go outside again

I can't wait for a sweatshirt and jeans to be enough to keep me warm

All of these things bring with them an attitude change that we left inside when we were hibernating for the winter. It'll be nice to see people returning to themselves again.

With that I ask, Spring, do your thing!

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
