Transitioning from young adult to adulthood

We live in a world today where your age really doesn't make you mature, you can be "old" and have a young mentality or "young" with an old mentality. It all just depends on the environment that you were raised or brought up in. For instance, a child star who has grown up in the spotlight and is trying to prove that they are grown by doing what they think grown people do. They change their appearance, they start going out to clubs, or changing the group they hang with to fit in. I remember transitioning into adulthood after high school and thinking to myself the stuff my fellow peers was starting to do, I had already had those experiences. Then on top of that I had a blueprint before me of what not to do. So when KeKe Palmer started stepping into her own I was excited to see her growth and how she would develop into an even greater entertainer. But with the recent chain of events I'm very perplexed with her. When you come from a certain pedigree there are certain things that I believe you shouldn't do. Your talent speaks volumes over what any hater or critic has to say about you until you cross a line to where we can't recognize who you are. KeKe should've never engaged in a twitter war with a reality star who talent is only running her mouth and starting fights. She also should have never put one of her peers on blast because she didn't agree with what he did when you had his phone number and the chance to leave. I understand we believe that we are suppose to evolve each year we are alive which is true, but there is something that we can and should be able to identify you by. You can't keep crying wolf when you put yourself in a situation where it could have turn out different. It's sad that people can't express themselves without being put into a box and labeled as whatever they want to label you as. But in certain aspect of live you have to careful how you project yourself so that line can't ever be cross. Like Meaghan Good she was a child star and until recently when she did documentary about her life that people really knew what she went through, and her transition was gradual and not forced. All I'm trying to say is march to the beat of your own drum.

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.
