Don't let another week get away from you.

Some Things To Ponder As Another Week Begins
Kurld

Life is stressful, there is no easy way around it. Whether it’s school, your job, mental/physical health, or politics, something is always hurting. Because of this, the start of a fresh week can feel less like a new beginning and more like a race to finish in your best time.

As cheesy as it is, life should not be about waiting until it’s done, but embracing every moment you experience. Both the good and the bad.

No matter the stress in your life, no matter the questions you cannot seem to answer, no matter the obstacles the world has thrown in your way, take a few minutes to re-empower yourself. Don’t become someone who complains about the ending of every weekend, or the start of every week.

Yes, we are tired and overwhelmed; but we are strong and capable, and our fullest potential begins when we feel our lowest.

Embrace the start of a new week with a deep breath and a few reminders to keep your body and mind in check.

Someone Will Always Listen

You are not alone, ever. Even the most unlikely person can be a sturdy shoulder. Sometimes, all you have to do is ask.

Do What You Need To Do To Feel Better

Sometimes we get so caught up in our agendas that we neglect our most valuable asset: our self. Get the therapy you need, whether it be a trip to a physician, a cuddle with a puppy, or a 4-mile hike. Taking care of yourself is never wasted time.

Embrace Yourself

Don’t follow the crowd because “it’s easier.” Go play a little soccer in the park, wear blue lipstick to the grocery store, however you want to roll. Your life is yours, so be a little weird.

Your Voice Does Actually Mean Something

Domino effect is real; making shit happen starts with one person. You are a real, valid person with a voice that can reach the ends of the world. Don’t be afraid to let people hear it.

Your Gut Is Usually Right

Every creature has a natural feeling when something is bad, but humans are especially guilty of second-guessing ourselves. Listen to what your body and heart tell you; if it feels wrong, it probably is.

Nothing is Impossible, Really

Every so often, we get handed the epitome of a hopeless cause. 99.9 percent of the time, all those tasks require is a strong cup of coffee, a clean desk, and a plan. You got this, dude.

Take care of yourself, be proud to be who you are, remember that you are only human.

You are capable of so much in seven days. If no one else tells you, I believe in you.

Have a beautiful week.

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.
