IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN! I really hope you all read that in a sing-song, yell(ish) voice of Europe. The Swedish rock band, not the continent. Just kidding. Welcome to day twenty-six. Hope you're all enjoying your time and I'm so sad that we are in our final countdown. Have fun with the last four days and write like the wind! Here is the quote of the day: "Write as though your mother will never read it." — Matt Haig

Never Take the First Opportunity
In April, I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh. I had it all planned out: I was going to stay home for the summer and relax for a month before beginning my career in New York City. It has always been my dream. It was all I ever wanted. I had built a life there, and I wanted to be a journalist. I had interned at Harper's Bazaar and fell in love with that lifestyle. I wanted to write, I wanted to meet talented people, and I wanted to look out into the big city every day of my life.

Being OK with Others' Disapproval
When you really care about someone, you care about what they think of you. It's a perfectly normal part of forming connections. When I buy a new item of clothing, I wonder if my husband will like it. I constantly wonder what my kids will think of me when they grow up. When I meet up with friends, I wonder what they think about me. Almost always, if there was something I could do to positively impact the way someone viewed me, be it about a deeply important part of who I am or something as simple and, frankly, vain as a new dress, I would do it.

For When Everything Falls Apart
Have you ever felt like you had your whole life together? Hook, line, and sinker, 'I'm gonna be a neuroscientist, and marry Ryan Gosling and tame his wild soul, and vacation in those huts on the water that have been in every vacation movie in the last decade. You put yourself into the med school, move to L.A. to find your man, and save street change and waitressing tips to go to Bora Bora.'

Are You a Lost Soul?
Introducing Your Soul I'm sure you've heard the idea that we all have souls. But what does this really mean? Consider the idea that every person is born with an individual life path with each person or aka "soul" comes a unique life with different opportunities and struggles.

8 Things You Should Know About Life
1. You learn from failure. As you go through the trials and tribulations of life, you'll always find yourself staring in the face of hard decisions, and when you're faced with these decisions, what would you do? Lie down and die? No, that's not an option. You'd fight back and you may lose but that's the beauty of failure, you learn from it. Mistakes only pave the way to success

To My Younger Self: This Is for You
This is to the girl who never felt like she fit in. The girl who never had a lot of friends. The girl who always stood out in the crowd. The girl that just wanted to be like every other girl. This is to the girl who never felt like she belonged. The girl who never really accepted herself. The girl who didn’t know who she was. This is to the girl who always had a million questions. The girl who was living as someone else's idea of who she should be for most of her life. This is to the girl who didn’t know how to love herself. This is to the girl who was lost and is now found. These words are for you.

The next new moon will be in our sky this 18th, and the time couldn’t be any more perfect the current situation in my life. Though I am so happy to be back home with my loving family, working and earning more money for a future of adventures, I still long for the open road.

A Letter to My Younger Self
Do you ever wish that you could write a letter to your younger self? To let little 14-year-old you know that even though they have no idea what they're doing or who they are right now, everything is going to turn out just fine? Just to give them a little advice as someone who's been there before? Me too. So this is a letter directed not only to my younger self, but to all the young girls out there right now, who are trying to find their own place in the world.
