The love instilled inside will fade, the shade of tranquility and calmness which was bestowed upon us shall strip away, the words that once guided us will now lead us astray, the bequeathed love which was left behind shall bid farewell, and in that moment you will be in a state which will be inconceivable to the hidden eye. With due time however, the black hole which had subdued in times of darkness will bit by bit start to leap holes of guided light.

A new found sense of brokenness shall transpire and within that there will lie beauty and empowerment. A state of nothingness will emerge, there will be no place to go, nor any place to be. Do not rush this stage, feel the sensation of pain and the engulfing emotions of sadness. Accept this moment and rise up from it. Learn how to breathe anew.

Equip yourselves with guidance, not the sort which will lead you to love others, the kind which will help to find who you are again because we are all more than pieces of fragments which people left behind. We are a embodiment of uniqueness, hopefulness, faithfulness, and most importantly oneness because we are united and whole. You were made to fly, so rise up and never let your wings sit on dust again.

We are all our own strength and own weakness, so adhere to all the wonderful capabilities which reside within while accepting the flaws that are also encompassed inside. Do not seek perfection, search for imperfection and accept it in its truest and rawest form. Tell yourself you are bold, fearless, compassionate, kind, tolerant, and at times can be weak, broken or incomplete. This is who we all are. Focus on the person you wholly truly are.

Learn to love yourself not so others can love you, but for the sake of being at peace with your ultimate self, and to recognize who you are. We are always looking and hoping to find our self worth in others, always forgetting to check the most important place which lays within us all; our own conscious being.

This will be a journey like no other so stay calm and remain positive. The most rarest of gems are flawed, so detach yourself from what society has deemed as being normal and create your own normality. Take the first step towards self discovery and the rest will follow. Always remember you are a rose enveloped in your own garden, not a prick on a flower, I hope you never stop flourishing and growing. May the enchantment of your beauty forever preserve.

This is your story and I hope you have the power to become your own writer.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
