Life Circumstances Won't Prevent Me From Pursuing You

Life happens, but it shouldn't stop us.

We had plans to meet up, and I'm not going to lie- I was crushed when you texted me, saying you had been sick since 2 in the morning and wouldn't be able to make it. Though I was frustrated, I understood- life happens, things come up, and sickness happens.

We had plans for you to come to my choir concert, and I'm not going to lie- I was crushed when you texted me, saying you got called in to work because of severe understaffing. Though I was disappointed, I understood- life happens, things come up, and employers need employees.

I want you to know something, and I sincerely hope you feel the same way- Life circumstances won't prevent me from pursuing you.

We're both stupidly busy college students. We're both nearing our senior year of college, and we're both pursuing majors that ask us to put our heart and soul into helping people better themselves. It's not hard to understand that life happens, and it sometimes feels like life is preventing us from getting to know each other, from building a relationship that could be something magical, pure, and lovely.

I'll make time for what's important... And you- the idea of you- is important to me. You intrigue me. You're different- I want to get to know you better. I want to understand your fears, your joys, how you tick and why you tick. Life happens- and life, mixed with a little courage and a belief that beauty can be found in any circumstance, is what brought us together. Let's embrace life, and let's discover if what we can create can bring a little more light, happiness, and love into this world.

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.

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.
