Battle Cry

"All of my fears, and all of my doubts are lacing their boots and grabbing their guns, the war is on now."

Battle Cry

One of the toughest battles one will have to fight is the one within themselves. It's a battle hard to describe because everyone experiences their own type of battles in their own way. Some come out winning these battles and others continue losing them, the question is how long can one keep going?

"Battle Cry" is not just the name of this article, but the name of a song from the hit show Empire.

"Battle Cry" is another world within itself. It's not another love song, but a song that talks about real issues within yourself. This is the type of song that you have to read in between the lines in order to understand where it's coming from.

Life is an everyday struggle, not knowing whether you'll rise the next day or not is a scary feeling. In this day and age, life is not so much about going on with your daily lives, but so much more than that, especially when you see someone's inside their head instead of outside. Fear is inside people's brains. There are many things that give us fear, but what if this type of fear doesn't go away? When you go to sleep you have that fear stuck inside your head day and night, you wake up and still have that same fear stuck inside yourself. Then doubt takes over love and it leaves you paralyzed. Not being able to enjoy the most beautiful things in your life, always wondering when it'll all be over or questioning whether it's all real. Deep inside you feel that there is no escape to all this madness and want to just explode and release something. In a battle within yourself, it feels as if you may end up losing the things most precious to you. You find out there what was fake and what was real.

"I will never lose this let whatever come my way, I am stronger than my rival and I will not fall today."

Such motivating words those are, words to draw strength from and words to defeat your inner self, right? For some those words means a lot and can change their entire battle strategy and some become victorious. For others they are just words hitting a brick wall with no effect whatsoever. To understand people with losing battles, you have go in deeper and search.

The war is on now, but the real question is can you end up winning or end up losing yourself?

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.
