Write Your Heart Out

It's chicken soup for the soul.

Write Your Heart Out
http://daddymindtricks.com

So, this was supposed to about GPU mining. Then it was supposed to be a letter to myself. And not it's about just writing in a journal. Just straight up writing in a notebook designated for logging your day and feelings. It's always been important for me to write out my thoughts, there was no one to listen. Even if you do have someone, writing out your feelings unabashed gives you a sense of mind and heart nothing else can.

Something about pouring your heart onto pages for no other's eyes heals the soul and calms the mind. Whether it was the best day of your life, and you've never been more elated, or it was the most heart draining, soul wrenching day of your life, and you need to pour your numb heart out, some solitude with a pen and paper is chicken soup for the soul. Bonus points for soft music and a lit candle.

When you're not too sure how you feel, scribble some words down, and soon enough you'll have at least some sort of idea where to start soul searching. Self improvement can only be done through self reflection. Through the process of jotting some words down on a page, you'll find happiness within yourself to give to others. It's like giving yourself a clean slate each time you write. Just like crying. You can't start anew if you don't empty all the pent up emotions. A river of tears and ink cleanses the body and mind just enough to smile again.

Feelings too foolish and thoughts too nonsensical, your journal doesn't judge. It's a log of your life. A yearbook, but with words. I like to date and time mine. I used to log what music i was listening to while writing, but that became too tedious.

The next time life becomes a little too much or life is too boring, pick up that cute diary you meant to write in or that extra notebook you didn't need. 30 minutes alone.

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.
