Begin Again.

Thoughts at the end of another day

12
Begin Again.

When light and dark are indistinguishable,

you just keep living to keep living,

and dream and memory unidentifable.

Where am I?

Who am I?

Is this reality? My reality?


Told myself I have to do it alone.

No one else has let me know

it's safe to disclose.

These deep-seeded hurts

are too much to let go,

but too much to hold.

My shoulders aren't built for this weight.


Highs and lows

every day, every day.

I keep moving because it's all

I know

there's a light at the end,

just around the next bend.


Let me down slow

This reaity could be more

than I can accept right now.

Search, struggle, find,

fall, get up, rewind.


Back to the same old,

new year same mold.

But something tells me there's

still some gold

among this glitter, flicker and fold

another page, another year.

Another memory hard to bear.


But progress, regress, and progress,

two steps forward, only one back.


As my mind spills on the page

I'll still rage,

forgive, forget.

Doubt, remit, submit.

And I'll move on.

Ready to begin.

Again.

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.
