"[M]oments that we question should serve as reminders to figure out what we want on a deeper level"

Life tends to throw obstacles in our path, however, these difficulties help us grow leading us down paths we never would have expected. Lately, days have felt ever so long, especially, during this time of quarantine and regular morning wake ups have allowed me to ponder the idea that even though aspects of life are not what they once were that there is more to come in the future. Knowing that there is more down the road to come for you does not mean that believing it is easy. However, by trusting in new beginnings and the ability to let old memories leave one will have access to experience brand new mornings. The life we live is like that of a rollercoaster; there will be days in which we are left with a loss for words. In which we look at our loved ones wondering, how did I get so lucky to live this great life? On the contrary, there will be nights of pain that leave us sleepless making us ask ourselves when will I see and feel happiness again? The scary thing is there are not always direct answers to these questions and we are forced to continue with the daily tasks of our blurry lives. These moments that we question should serve as reminders to figure out what we want on a deeper level. Taking time to evaluate ourselves will allow us to grow into what we should be. You may feel vulnerable or strong-willed but throughout it all, you should be the gladdest that you overcame what was holding you back, to see things grow even though it took forever. The journey is a healing process and through it, you will learn more and more about yourself. You will eventually build your strength and bloom into who you are suppose to be <3

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.
