The Image Left Behind

"The present changes the past. Looking back you do not find what you left behind." — Kiran Desai

The Image Left Behind

This can speak truth behind multiple different categories and areas of your life. The image in school, work, sports, friendships, relationships or family life. You hold an image that nobody else can even fall relatively similar too. You hold your own standard, create your own image and have the ability to change it.

That is why it is so neat because you have the ability to create your impact on others around you and what your image does for your past, your future, and your present.

This is one of the many aspects that allow us to be an individual and one of our own. Which can be such a beautiful thing in society in the present days due to the bullying, and negativity that has become a constant battle for many.

We don't ever fully understand and see the impact the simplest of things may affect another person until it is brought to our attention by a similar thing happening to ourselves. Sometimes we pass by exactly what those actions can do until it is happening directly to us and then we are opened up to see exactly how intense it is.

From here we can personally relate to it, and see more clearly what kind of impact our words and actions can have on others. We have a numbered of days on this earth, and this is why it is so cruel to make each day count to your fullest and make the greatest impact possible.

"Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value." – Albert Einstein

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
