moving on is necessary

I am by no means an expert on life. If I'm being honest, who really is? We are all facing battles or bumps daily. It is so easy to get angry and throw something at the wall, scream in your pillow, or even just sit and listen to sad music. Why do we listen to sad music, when we are sad? I always say that I do, because I want to let all my sadness out. I know, that sounds crazy right? Even though it does sound crazy, it seriously works for me. It is as if me being mildly sad wasn't enough, so now I'm going to listen to The Fray or Coldplay to get really sad. Then, after I'm done being a baby I think about all the reasons I should be happy. We are all human and sometimes we just need to let out our emotions. I know that sometimes you feel crazy and maybe you don't want to tell someone why you are upset. Maybe you don't think they will understand, or make you feel better. That is a risk you might have to take. If you don't tell anyone you will keep it to yourself and try to "move on" or forget. The thing is, you can't "move on", unless you let go of something. You might think you are fine and have moved on, but it will always come back until you truly give it the needed emotions. Bottling up so much emotion and anger will crush your soul.

Life isn't suppose to be an easy game of glow in the dark mini golf. If it was easy, you would never learn anything. You are given tasks that seem impossible, so that when you actually overcome them you feel a feeling like no other. You have achieved a rewarding moment or reached a new level in life. That moment in your life might be small to some, but to you it means the world and more. One thing I have to share, is that you must, without a doubt, love your mistakes. Everything happens for a reason, there is no accident as to why you are here. There might be things you wish you could've done better, but you did them exactly like you were suppose to. So DO NOT dwell on the past. Look at today and see how you can help or live more in the moment. We can't control what happens, but we can control what we learn from it. Seek to learn, love and grow.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
