The Fear Of Others And Ourselves

The constant feeling of judgment from others is hard to ignore when you only want to be happy

The Fear Of Others And Ourselves

We have not really been okay. And we really do not understand why. We do not understand why people turn their heads away when we try talking to them. Or just simply ignore us to begin with. We try be okay. We try our hardest to be there for anybody that needs it. It is hard. When all we do is push people away because we feel like they are just going to hurt us. But in the end It is us that gets hurt because we are the ones left being and feeling alone.

Not only are we judged when we try talking to others, we feel the whole world cave in on us. So we stop talking because it's hard. It is hard to talk to others when It feels like the everybody just wants to turn away from you. It is like having people but not wanting to go to them because you do not want to waste their time. It is like holding everything in just until you cannot anymore. All your emotions are piled into so many different things. Just for them to burst when you cannot hold them in anymore.

It is hard to cope with, when you push others out, and expecting them to know you need someone to talk to. Maybe just to tell someone hey or anything inparticular because having someone there is so important. Being able to cope with the happiness of your friends presents and going home later to cry is hard.

We feel like everything is a lie. We are so tied down because others look so annoyed by our presents, so we try not to say much. We try our hardest to make friends, but they come and go and we never can just find someone to be there. Or be good friends with. We can never just have a bestfriend because they choose someone else over us. So we get rundown and feel useless. It is like going to someone but nobody listening.

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.
