What is Perfection To You

I am not perfect. I used to hate that about myself. I always wished that I was prettier, skinnier, more confident and outgoing. I wished that I was the person that everyone would want to be around. I wished that I could walk around with my head held high with not a single worry. I wish that I could have told myself that none of this is really all that important. I have learned that it is actually good to not be perfect. It is okay to only have a few friends because they are actually good and worthy ones. They are the ones who keep me grounded. I think that being perfect has many different meanings. To some, it could be constantly being surrounded by tons of people out in the world and to others it could be as simple as being home alone on a Friday night reading a good book. Perfection is what you want it to be. Society has tried to put out a certain perfection that is wanted by so many people. The pressure to do certain things and to look a certain way. I am much more comfortable being myself. I like not being pressured into doing things that i do not want to do. I surround myself with real people who bring positive energy and who are perfect in their own ways. I have no desire to live up to unrealistic expectations of how I should look and feel. The truth is that I am not about to feel or look a certain way because a celebrity does. I want to be comfortable with myself, it took me so long to become comfortable and I want to stay that way. I have stopped updating my social media stories so much because I have no time to, I am out working and living my life. The best moments of life are the ones that you do not have time to document. To me a day where I do not have a snapchat or instagram story are the best days. I do not need to feed into the movement of updating everyone each time I move. No one needs to know. I know I don’t. If it is interesting to you or if it is something unique then by all means let the world know but if it is just you going to get food or walk around your house, then really no one needs to see that. Be the kind of perfect that makes YOU happy. Do not worry about the amount of views on your instagram or snapchat story, worry about what is happening in the world, the more important things, worry about YOU. Be present in the world in a more positive way. Embrace the life you have and each moment that it gives you. Life is too short to worry about being perfect. Go out and live your life to the fullest, upload the pictures later.

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.
