Questions

There are a lot of questions that pop up in our minds every now and then, and some of them simply remain unanswered. It makes it hard to really understand the universe and who we are, but it also gives us an amazing insight into the different ways of thinking.

  1. What exactly does it mean to live a good life? What is "good" to you, and how does that compare to those around you?
  2. If we are all so different, why do we have these ideal ways of living? Why are we conforming to this societal structure so naturally?
  3. What is right or wrong? How do we distinguish what is the exemplary choice in controversial issues?
  4. How do you think the human species will go extinct?
  5. How does our mind come up with some of the random/crazy dreams we have?
  6. What kind of creatures are out there that we have not discovered?
  7. Is there an ideal reality out in the universe?
  8. What are the chances of finding our one true soulmate?
  9. Would you want to know how/when you were going to die?
  10. If you had three wishes, what would it be?


Reality

Reality is not something we can always have a tight grasp on. There are a lot of things that make us sit there and really think about the reality we live in, and it is fascinating to acknowledge the aspects of reality that we do not always think about.

  1. We have been dying since the day we were born.
  2. We have not explored over 80% of the ocean.
  3. We cannot picture how big the universe is.
  4. Our mind cannot make up things we have not seen (ex: colors)
  5. Time is nature's way of making sure everything does not happen at the same time.
  6. Our unconscious works faster than our thoughts when it comes to doing everyday actions.
  7. Everything we create in this world has a predetermined purpose.
  8. There is other life out there in the universe that we have not discovered.
  9. On Saturn and Jupiter, it rains diamonds.
  10. You cannot remember more than ten showers you have had.

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.
