I Could Love You

it was that first funny feeling

the fuzzy fluff in my stomach

the dilation of my pupils and the widening of the inside of my chest

it's like my heart wants to welcome you and let you in


it's your eyes I romanticize, fantasize

realize look through your real eyes with no real lies

there are moments that I despise myself because the chances of us are slim

but a chance is all I need

maybe it's not the right time for us to be

but I'll pray for you like I pray my creed

maybe we'll be good for each other

we could be each other's lovers

show us off to our mothers and brothers.


imagine.


I never wanted a touch more since the iPod

and I've never cast dreams more since that old game system

you know they say it's healthy to take some risks

so risk it all and be with me

we can play some Risk or take a brisk walk through the park

and then (this is my favorite part) the part when I ask you "girl, can I have your heart?"

and you have mine

take our souls and intertwine

for we can be something so sublime, so divine, so fine

and including all of the above

I think that I could love... you

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.
