A Castle in Spain

"Why is it that she always seem to challenge others?"

"In an athletic match?"

"Nooo, don't play dumb, you know what I mean…"

"Do you not like her questions? What is keeping you at edge?"

"It's like a trap"

"We're not in a goddamn movie"

"I'm not dramatizing, it is true. There's been whispers about her"

"There was never a time without tattles"

"Her words bewitch them, every one of them is under a spell"

"They oppose honest ideas they refuse to accept"

"But you haven't seen her enticement"

"I am living in her enticement"

"Now you too? Snap out of it"

"Why are you consistently cruel on yourself?"

"I can't believe they all fall for her"

"You're envious, what is with you and acceptance?"

"Acceptance is a long way"

"There are always whispers, at night, during the day"

"Stick to the ground, I can't lose you to the clouds, not again"

"Listen to yourself, it's been long enough"

"She needs rest, yes, but she also needs an awakening"

"Hear me out, let me fin-"

"Children, please, I will light her way"

"Oh look who decides to show up"

"Construction work has worn her out"

"Look at the all the granites they made me carry"

"She should not be flustered with all this nonsense, it's simple"

"The folks have faith, you should believe"

"What does faith have to do with this? Faith, pft"

"The folks are pleading, it's flooding"

"How long has it been?"

"It's been 19 minutes"

"I think she should wake up, it's been too much"

"Let her take the escalator"

"No, she will walk, on her own."

"To the woods?"

"You said you were going to light the way"

"Yes, but you don't get to say when, now put down your cigarette"

"All of these whispers"

"Hush.."

"That person has been nothing but a burden"

"You should see the light the child brings into others' lives"

"But the whispers-"

"Hush!.., she is awaking, let her".

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.
