Hidden thoughts within the deep parts of my mind

One of my many thoughts that crosses my mind is pain. To be more specific, I think about others peoples pain. It is true that we all have pain, theres pain in everyones life, and it comes in all different shapes and sizes. It comes in a form of abuse, financial issues, negative experiences, negative people, and just life in general is tough for many people. There has to be a way out of it, a way to escape it right? That is what I hope for anyway, I mean yeah it is unavoidable but there has to be a way to lessen others pain. I get caught up in the idea of wanting to take everyones pain.

I wish that I had the ability to take away everyones pain, because pain is suffering that can turn into pure agony, it can hurt so much that all one feels is internal pain day in and day out. The best I can do to help and do my part to help others out is to make jokes, and offer my support to the best of my abilities. I know what it feels like to be at a really low point in life, the point where you think its time to call it quits, the point where you think you have fought enough. You believe that you have reached that point where you are about to break for the last time for good, you believe that you are not going to survive any more storms, you believe that after all this time of boxing that its the final round and don't want to get up. I want to let you know something though. The pain you feel, it will go away and do you want to know why? It will go away because no one suffers forever.

The secret is to start loving yourself, to start believing again, to dream as if you were a kid, to take steps to get out of your dark place. You think it is too hard, use your support system, don't have one then email me and get into contact with me, get help, you have to find that strength in yourself thats been there all along, you have to keep walking the pathway because your journey of life is only just getting started. The good parts are coming so don't miss out.

Think about this too, if we don't have pain, if we don't suffer then how will we know what happiness is, what true happiness is? Why would we appreciate it? Why enjoy it? We know what happiness is because we know what it means to be in pain. We can use our past pain to make the world a better place so that no one has to suffer the way we did, we can help each out, we can teach others, and when it is all said and done then we will look back on the bad times together and see the pain as a blessing. The pain helps make us who we are so wear those internal scars with a smile, and show others and have a conversation with them. The pleasure will come after you go through the pain. The pain will not stay forever so go out and be your amazing self. We all have this light about us, and all of our souls are beautiful so shine bright ladies and gentleman.

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.
