What is life?

What Is Life?


 To most people, life is supposed to be this beautiful thing that makes us joyful in looking to our future. Life is supposed to be this magical journey we go on, learning new things and exploring new places we have never been before; however, the reality part of life is a little scary. We look at all of the wonderful values life has to offer, and most of the time we forget about all of the negative vibes that can occur. Life is not at all perfect. Yes, good things can happen, but dangerous things happen as well. The scary part is when you start to focus on the negative and scary things, and you start to forget how to be happy. How are you supposed to get through life when everything seems down. People experience life differently, and that is normal. Life IS a journey, an emotional journey that is imaged as a roller coaster. Going up is always the scary part because you do not know what to expect. Do not worry about the future, when you can live in the moment. Living in this moment can make you appreciate life a little bit more than in the past. The past is history, tomorrow is just a day away, and today is the moment you live for. Life is a gift. Terrible things will happen, but never forget that God has a plan.

The Harsh Reality of Planning Your Wedding Without Your Mom

When the countdown nears 0 days, the butterflies begin to dance around your stomach, your cheeks become sore from smiling so much, and there's a sense of peace that drops over you because you're finally marrying the love of your life.  This is the best time of your life, and you could not be more overjoyed.  Suddenly, sadness starts to hit you like a tidal wave that came without warning. The tears start flowing and cannot stop. You can't breathe, and everything else starts to feel heavy. There's an empty void that cannot be filled, and your chest begins to break in two.  This was the best time of your life, but now it's all starting to hit you in a million pieces.  The one person who should be here- your rock, your stability in an uneasy balance, the glue that has held you together- is not here. Your mom.  ... It's no secret that I have been through more obstacles than I'd like to admit. Several of these obstacles occurred when I least expected them, like a ...

The Life of a Showgirl: When Taylor Swift Lets the Spotlight Dim

While it’s no surprise that we’re big Taylor Swift fans in this household, something about this newest album release felt different. On the eve of the drop, anticipation ran high. Some of us drifted off to sleep with visions of glitter, feathers, and showgirls twirling in our minds. Others fueled up on caffeine, determined to stay awake until the clock struck twelve. And when it did—on October 3—we were ready for it. But this time, I chose sleep. The next morning, headphones in hand, I pressed play as soon as I woke up—and almost immediately, I felt something shift. Taylor’s music has always been deeply relatable—that’s never been in question. The Life of a Showgirl follows the forever-endearing The Tortured Poets Department, an album I adored with every ounce of my being. That record proved what so many of us already knew: Taylor is a poet at large. Naturally, expectations for this new album were sky-high. The Life of a Showgirl promised to peel back the curtain—to reveal life beyond ...

The Eve of Everything

Every eve of the new year, we are faced with this sentimental thought: what did I achieve this past year? Every person has a different list with different goals, different memories, and different outcomes. We all experienced the year, but each one of us is on a different path, experiencing something different each day. Some of us lost loved ones, and everything crumbled beneath our feet like an unexpected earthquake. Some of us graduated, got married, and had kids. Some of us experienced breakups that either crushed us or gave us our life back. Regardless of what you experienced this past year, please know that your journey is not going to be the same as everyone else.  God is literally the author of all of our lives. We are our own main characters. We will go through our own plots, experience different conflicts, face highs and lows, and in time, reach our endings. Everything we are experiencing is like a journey we're destined to travel through. It's not a race, but a journe...
