An Ode To Black Coffee

Thank you.

Black coffee:

I thank you for working miracles for me, even though I know you can't respond with "You're welcome."

You really have gotten me through a lot. I wake up in the morning and I feel better knowing that you will be there for me; knowing that you will always be there for me. You give me the energy to take on my day. You give me the gifts of happiness and joy. You even help me to remember what I have to do for the day. Thank you. You are the best.

Your color is so dark and reflective. You remind me that everyone is different. Everyone has a different color; not one looking identical to the other. We all come from different places. You, I know, come from Costa Rica. Everyone is different. The others come from all over the world.

I know not all are made to be strong, but you are strong and bold. Almighty you are. The others like the way they are: weak and bitter. Sometimes I find you slightly bitter, but most of the time you are perfect to me. Even if you are bitter, you are loyal.

Your aromatic fragrance is something else I appreciate. You always change it up. Some days your scent is French Vanilla, and others it is Southern Pecan. Every day, it is invigorating. Your smell is charming to most, especially to me. Bridging the gap of time from childhood memories to present day indulgence, you draw everyone to where you are located. Most of the time you are in the kitchen.

You have changed a lot. You have been around for so long that people became creative. They came up with different ways to make you who you are. You are always dressed in different colors, covering your body and giving you character. I would never dare to judge you based on what you are dressed in.

Your warmth is what I like the most on a cold day. I love having you right next to me to keep me warm. Even on a hot day, you are there to cool me down and take some of the heat away. I love having you there next to me no matter the weather.

I appreciate you. You have always been there, leading me to the right choices. You bring a kind of love into my life that makes me feel warm all over. You make my heart race. Strangely, you relax me at the same time.

You bring people together! Everyone loves taking pictures of you. You are so good to me, so good for me. You are stylish and personal. You are unique!

You are my coffee.

Thank you, black coffee.

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.
