A Dreamer's Art

Hey readers! I wanted to place a visual into the minds of those who consider themselves "dreamers." Reality is pretty chaotic right now, but I hope this personification piece gives you some healthy inspiration for working toward your goals. No matter what anyone tells you, the mind is a powerful way to make true art out of our dreams from yesterday. May you shine and thrive in achieving your aspirations. Much love to you all!



Into my mind,

I see art

I know that mine

Can be told apart

Because the night itself

Is like the portal to dreams

Those so full they

Burst at the seams

In a good way, no doubt

However, some don't know

Quite what I mean

That is to say, in my mind

I believe in possibility

I can tell you

No lie, it gets hard

The night can be cold

When I give myself reason

To believe that dreaming is wrong

That's why I stay keeping this

In my head: be strong

Easy? It won't be

Silly? Well, maybe

But if I walked away from

What I wanted to do,

Wouldn't that make me

An even bigger fool, too?

Into my mind,

I see stars

Many upon many

I can't tell them apart

Deep down in my heart

I am aware that my nights

Fair best when I dream

And dream vaster than

Any art gallery

To anyone like me,

It's ok to believe in dreams

You want to know why?

Aside from my take on it,

Dreamers' souls dance

Like embers from a hot coal

They are ignited

Like the fire from wood, newly lightened

A dreamer's mind is

Like a Milky Way, but

How beautiful and unique

It is to know that you can take

This wonder anywhere you want to go?

There will be those who voice that

Dreams are meaningless

Don't harp on their words too much

For inside of you is the strength

And determination you seek

Because a dreamer's heart is

Like the sparkling aura no one can keep

Into my mind,

I see art

May I stay in the clouds this time

For this is only the very start

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.
