Change Awaits

It's A Bittersweet Goodbye

As life goes on, things change. A lot of people face new challenges every single day. Some challenges however, are bigger than others. What might seem like a small change to you could be a life changing event for someone else.

I never thought in my entire life that I would leave the good ol' Peach State by the name of Georgia. I forever thought I would spend my years in Georgia and always call this place home. After I graduated, we decided to move. We contemplated moving for months and months. I had the option to move with my family, or stay and live alone and "adult" by myself.

My decision making took about two months before I decided to make my final decision and move for the sake of bettering myself. I wanted to give myself more options and millions of more opportunities.

The town that I have grown up in has been so good to me, but it was time for a change. As a growing adult, you just don't want to go to Walmart for fun or have the option to only eat Mexican food if you want to go out and eat good food. That was fun for awhile, but eventually it becomes a boring habit that you dread.

The changes and the decisions I have made are for me, and for bettering myself. I want to be able to go and eat wherever I want, make new adventures for myself. I want to try new things and have a new places to see and things to do. I get the chance that every child wants, a brand new one. I can start over new and have my second chance.I finally have the chance to go to college and learn about animals and one day, be able to love and care for them as a job I look forward to going to every single day.

I will miss my hometown, of course. I will miss the friends I will say goodbye to. I will miss living right beside my grandma and being able to walk up to her house whenever I wanted. I'll miss the Walmart trips for fun and eating Mexican over and over again. Change is hard and moving is hard. I honestly could not have made this decision without the help of my supportive family and their kind words and their comfort.

I hate to say it, but goodbye Georgia and hello Tennessee! New changes and new adventures await. It's a bittersweet goodbye, but I'm not gonna cry.

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.
