You Are Loved

"We want to help, To say something..."

20
You Are Loved
Holden Farnsworth

Looking out into our world,

a small barrier of glass

separating

Everyone else's reality

from ours.

The sun slowly passing

Along with time,

A man-made illusion controlling

Our reality


In these moments

Time does not control us,

It stops when the desire to

Help

Is the only thing that matters,

The one thing that anyone who cares for you

Longs to provide,

But rather painfully cannot.

How can we give

When they don't know how to receive?


We want to believe that our friends,

Our family

Are there for us,

To love us unconditionally.

But we fight.

The never ending internal battle

Within us,

What to believe?


We use words to comfort one another

But communication is flawed.

We want to help,

To say something

To make the clouds of despair dissipate

But the reality is,

We freeze

Completely devoid of all words.


As tears flow down your face,

Holding all the painful thoughts

And emotions escaping from you

This moment only to be taken by time

We are left with only one choice

Opening our arms

In hopes to offer any type of consolation.


When you fall,

When it seems that only bad memories persist,

Seek for the good ones

The ones that will outweigh the bad.

It may seem hopeless at times

But you have to fight

We have time,

Time to build our hope.

Remember

that you will be okay

And,

No matter what,

You are loved.

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.
