Just Because I'm Quiet, Doesn't Mean I'm Sad

For the people that think they know you better then you know yourself.

Just Because I'm Quiet, Doesn't Mean I'm Sad
Rhiannon Tylutki

It is an interesting experience when someone decides they know you better then you do, and tells you who you are and what you ought to be. If darkness is your only companion, you wouldn't know it to be dark. It would simply be natural and a normal surrounding. It is light which brings awareness to the darkness, and it is a calm which brings way to the storm. If we didn't have a bright tomorrow, we wouldn't know yesterday as dark, and you've never known happiness till you've danced in the rain.

In Poland, the summer rains are warm and quick, and feel as though it were more of a comforting blanket. I think about how there are only a handful of people that I've let into my life, and of those it still feels as though no one really knows me.

I put up walls and a face, and I am exited and loud and energetic... because if I weren't I would be faced with constant questions of what is wrong and why I am sad. When I am quiet, I'm not sad... usually. I'm just thoughtful or trying to relax. But I have to put up this sassy, happy front, because if I don't and I just want to read a little everyday, its as if I'm depressed. I'm not. I'm just an introvert, no matter how loud or relatively comfortable I am making a fool of myself in front of random people I do or do not know. It makes no difference, I am still introverted, and I still have to be alone to regenerate my energy and will to be around people.

Sincerely Yours,

Rajanka T

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.
