A New View of the Inconsistent you

“Yes, I am that girl who over-thinks all of the time, the girl that will do whatever for a friend at the drop of a dime. I replay new songs until they are old, though never playing that “typical girl” role. I think about the past more than the future, reminiscing and laughing on the things I did that were stupid. I have a strong belief in simplicity, but far from it. I change quite frequently. As soon as something sinks in me it’s released from me. I appreciate short conversations in the day and cherish long ones in the evenings, depending on who’s speaking. I create new theories every week then forget them in the next three. Not easy for keeping, but this is me inconsistently…”

To all my fellow people who work out for a week and a half then call it quits, like strawberries today but hate them tomorrow, and who can never actually finish a whole book. This, my friend is for you.

In the eyes of others you may be considered “inconsistent” but let’s take a stroll down a different pathway and look at it from another stand point.

Inconsistency is mostly paired with negative views but let’s pull out these positives from the roots and bring them to the light.

From the good old faithful dictionary.com the word inconsistent is synonymous to unpredictable, but you know what else is similar to unpredictable? Spontaneous! And guess what is a synonym for spontaneous? Free!

Inconsistent was also associated with the word eccentric on dictionary.com which means deviating from the recognized customary character or practice. The online dictionary and I are here to let you know that being inconsistently you and different from what is considered as “the norm” is okay. It’s okay to like something one day and another the next. It’s okay to change your mind.

I’ve come to the conclusion that people love labels and labeling others, so whenever someone labels you as inconsistent just be alright with that because you are spontaneous, free, and eccentric!

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.
