Thought Number 1:

The best time to write is when music plays. Everything in my world revolves around music but in the most uncommon ways. My life seems to contradict the very music that is apart of me- the very music that I love. There is this crazy scientific part of me, who always desires to find answers to all of my questions, but there is a much more important part and that is of music. I can’t define it in words without diminishing its value. It is merely more than words it is a feeling. Science can explain how it works, how I feel so abnormally inhuman in a beautiful contradicting way with music, but it cannot explain why. Why is music important to the survival of humans? Could we live without it? In an evolutionary sense, yes we could. But emotionally? Spiritually? Absolutely not. One that ignores that apparent feeling that is intrinsically within is contradicting the very value of their human worth. That is where the road to science seems to end for me. Where to doors close and the answers to my questions cannot be found. Who and what is science to diminish the quality of our genetic melodies?

Thought Number 2:

Blankets of red wine color and snuggle brown are atop a white bed, bigger than I deserve. A bottle of water half drunken. The song flightless bird playing in my headphones. Pumpkin spice candle and open dark window to feel the cool breeze that contrasts my pink sheep fuzzy pajama pants. Psychology terms are tapped to my tan walls and notes and a book is beside me. I feel as if I have too much, and I wonder what I have done to deserve a world that is so placed and functioning. How can make this a place where others can share too. How can I help the people that just don’t have what I have?

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.
