I'm A Work In Progress

I'm not perfect. I will never be perfect and that's okay. I'm a human and I make mistakes. I laugh, I cry, I make memories, and I forget some of them. I'm still young (At the ripe age of 20) and I have a lot to learn. I always have something new to learn. I'm always striving for more and wanting more out of life. I make adjustments and continue to fine tune things within our lives. For me, I'm always striving for a better life physically, spiritually, educationally, emotionally etc.

I feel as though we should always be striving for more out of life. We don't know how long we have on earth, so we might as well go for it, right? Well, that's sometimes a tough pill to swallow. Wanting self-improvement is a tough process. Think about how diamonds are made. You take a dirty piece of coal that no one wants to touch and put it through a ton of heat and pressure and out comes a beautiful diamond. We all like the diamond but don't always like the process that goes along with it. We all like the prize but don't always want to the pay the price.

I will always be a work in progress. I'm never going to be perfect or anything close to it. Why strive for perfection anyway? The best stories and life lessons come from your mistakes. In case you don't know, I'm a stand-up comedian (Which explains the sarcasm in my articles) and I mess up all the time on stage. It is through the mistakes that we learn the most. My mentor always tells me it's like learning how to ride a bike. Of course, you don't want to fall, but you're going to fall, it's inevitable. But, do you stay down or get up and try again?

I will always be a work in progress. Progress means you're always moving forward even when you sometimes have some setbacks. Whether it is financial, spiritual, emotional, educational or anything else in your life you have to keep moving forward. Progress takes time and we don't always like it. Personally, I am I looking to progress my spiritual life, financial life, and relationships with others. There will always be mistakes in every aspect of my life. That sounds weird to say, but it will happen, I just have to prepare myself. Proper preparation prevents poor performance. I will always be a work in progress but don't worry, I'm in it to win it!

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.
