Beauty And The Jacob

Beauty And The Jacob
Joanna Kosinska

Why would she look at me with those enchanting eyes?

Why would she smile at me with those beautiful lips, and perfectly bright teeth?

Why would she speak to me with that angelic voice?

Why would she think about me with that perspicacious mind?


I am a monster! A beast at best!

I get angry, bitter, sad and depressed!

I am a liar, a deceiver; I put on a show!

What is unseen on the inside, nobody knows.


So there is no reason I deserve her attention.

In fact, I deserve her isolation.

I deserve to be treated like an animal in a cage!

If I should ever fall in love with her, she should just run away!


I am nothing, but a monster that needs to be set free.

What do you see that others can't see?

When I look at you, my anger has ceased.

For some reason, you bring the love out of me.


I corner myself in a dark and lonely room,

In my mind, and I get anxious on what I should do.

I start to throw things, causing a scene.

To everyone else, I am a beast.


But to you, you see a person,

You see who I really am.

A heart that is shattered,

But still tries to beat.


Why should you look at me with your enchanting eyes?

Why should you smile at me with your beautiful lips and perfectly bright teeth?

Why should you speak to me with your angelic voice?

Why should you think about me with you perspicacious mind?


It doesn't make sense, but it's beautiful.

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.
