The inspiration of an era.

Sometimes it might seem that science has nothing to do with art, when in fact they both mix up to form this infinitesimal creation of objectivity and subjectivity with a sense of subtleness.

The fashion world may seem like a cruel place to exist or live in when it's seen by outsiders (like me), but considering the artistic beauty that it carries makes one inevitably intrigued of what a life of fashion between such artists, writers, musicians and inspiring people can be like.

Of course, there are different groups and cliques that mesh, and the art that lies within those walls of freedom unites with a different world - one that resides within each person, to live and dream of. To exist, and persist on, to inspire, and act upon. The dreams of an age.

Sometimes it can be difficult to think about how two things that you love can clash and be the complete opposite of the other... (well, at least seem like the complete opposite) In reality, as mentioned beforehand, science and art are alike, therefore two other "seemingly unrelated" aspects can actually be part of a unity.

Some other times, you might just be in search of creativity and wonder after having watched such an amazing series like "The Carrie Diaries" that you just want to start channeling your creativity into an art collection of a sort, or cutting out figures from a magazine.

It's necessary to believe in ourselves and everything we do at every single point in time. Sometimes it might seem like there are so many things going on that you just want to go to sleep listening to Turkish pop music while daydreaming about learning about the phases of the moon and just forgetting about overwhelming situations, but it's you. And you know that everything is extremely important so that it's essential that you stand up and go about completing those things that you love and are so important to you.

Fashion is undoubtedly a part of our daily lives, and whether we pay attention to it or not, it jeopardizes our outward style because we look at idols that many might admire and would adore to be themselves.

To conclude, I will be leaving you with this poem by Madeline Dobbs from Rookie Magazine.

Voids

We suppose that
navigating our empty spaces
has to involve labels.
That the journey of finding out
exactly who we are is accomplished
when we can describe ourselves in three words
with absolute certainty.
And we marvel at the beauty of
the unknown in the world,
yet deny that such a thing
could apply to the human soul.
We question ourselves and stress
over who we are,
and still, we deny the idea
of ourselves just being.
Is self actualization essential?
Why must we fill in the blank?
What is the meaning
behind the unspoken satisfaction
of having a definition?
You and I are wonderful
as we are.
We are universes all in our own,
with voids that are a part of us;
nothing more, nothing less.

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.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

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.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
