Your ideas can take you to the moon and back if you believe in them hard enough.

An Excerpt From The Book I'll Never Write
Nekeran

" I wish I could be stuck in this moment for eternity. Where the sun wouldn't set, the day wouldn't change, my heart would never be broken, I'd never experience loss. I would be surrounded by my own bubble of innocence and oblivion. Forever live out my days in peaceful remembrance of what life once was. Worth living, worth fighting for, worth experiencing the ups and downs. Now reduced to a painted portrait of beauty; utterly fake and pitiful. My eyes tracking the familiar sunset over and over. My breath froze in front of me . My mouth stopped mid sentence. Oh, what a beautiful life I have, or had. This life I'll be forced to continuously see because moving forward would only give me pain. Pain that morphs people into the unthinkable, unforgivable, unlovable, unable to be saved. That pushes you to the point of no return, the point where you're left with no one on your side to battle the demons in your head all by yourself until they win. You are a shell of what you once were, a mindless creature that lurks and decides that others need to experience their pain. This is a war of their own, a battle of emotion, a declaration of help, a shout to the void. Help is what they need, in any shape or form, as simple as a helping hand to pull them out of the trash and into the light away from the darkness that threatens to take over. All they want is a friend."

We all get those random ideas sometimes. They come at the most peculiar times like while you're just in the margins of your notebook during class, showering or even in the middle of the night while your binge watching Supernatural on Netflix; but sometimes we forget to write these ideas down and tend to forget them. This one sentence came to me while I was sitting in homeroom waiting for my professor to start class. I decided to write it down and the rest just poured out of me on the spot. Once the flow started I didn't stop it and this is the result. What started out as a couple words on a piece of paper morphed into something that really makes you think. This piece can be interpreted in so many different ways, that's the beauty of art. The simple action of jotting down your ideas is so beneficial to yourself. It makes you more creative and even relieves stress. Ideas need an outlet of some kind; whether it's your pen to paper, a spray can to a wall or fingers to a keyboard, where ever you store your thoughts, just make sure you have them somewhere because you never know where the ideas will take you.

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.
