Life is crazy and that's alright!

So this week I wanted to write a "fictitious" letter to Life.

Dear Life,

I love how funny you are especially now when everything is changing. I love how you have me now questioning my sexuality which I know that I'm not 100% straight heck I'm probably not straight at all. I don't want to even label besides the fact that I'm not straight but shouldn't I have known that I wasn't straight a long time ago. I mean first of all I tried to kiss a girl twice when I was younger and without inhibitions and now that I'm older I can do more and yet I'm scared because I don't want to be a monster. Sure the girl of yesteryear might have been straight but it is too scary to go back out. And yet you try to have me kiss a girl at any given moment and you make me happy when thinking about being with a girl. Not that there is anything wrong with that I just have no idea how to tell my parents. You make me have irregular periods which could be for a lot of different reasons but I'm scared to figure out what it is. And you let me be a Junior for a semester and a half which means that I will be a Senior after my older sister graduates as a Senior. Life you are so crazy right now I just don't know. I do know this though, I love how you have given me many different opportunities. By the way can you give me more opportunities.

Thank you,

X


Dear X,

I don't make you do anything you do everything yourself. You're welcome for everything that I have given you. And I will keep being weird so keep hanging on for the ride. I'm not too sure about the period thing but just hang in there. Look up ways that you can come out or just discover yourself more. Thank you for acknowledging how funny I am. And I will look for more opportunities for you.

Sincerely,

Life

Life will be weird. Life will not be normal. And as it is said Life will give you something to make your life hard but you are going to just have to work through it.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
