How Nature Inspires The Human Mind
Evan Clark

Nature has a charming way of communicating its emotions. Happiness is found in a smile that disguises itself as a ray of sun. A delicate snowflake landing on the tip of a nose may be the gentle touch that was longed for. The wind expresses perseverance and determination as the breath of life pushes the back onward.

The Earth gives form to nature, and is kind and eloquent with its love; it gives the air to the atmosphere, the water to the stream, and the twig that the ant carries on it's back. Nature has a beckoning touch, pulling the self outside to breathe the crisp air deep into the lungs and back out into the world.

Just as each human varies in what resonates with their being, each type of weather evokes a different emotion in the mind. Whether comfort comes in the form of a dark, rainy day or a big sparkling sun, it warms the heart to be in a place so natural, fresh, and true. This allows for happiness to be found in one's favored environment.

Once in that remarkable place, the heart will beat robustly in the cage of the chest and communicate to the mind the feeling of belonging. Observe, connections can be seen all around, as the dirt gives life to the tree which grows fruit to support more life.

Natural and pure, these connections awaken positivity and light. They remind the self to extend kindness to the furthest possible reach; to greet every being, no matter how big, small, or different with warmth. What is put out is eventually received back, and the cycle continues forward.

A garden of creativity lives in the brain. Seeds that will sprout ideas are planted when true peace in the outdoors is experienced. As time goes on, the new thoughts grow to become intricate and unique. When the time comes where creativity is most needed, beautiful flowers of inspiration are ready to blossom and shower the mind with brilliance.

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.

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.
