Drowning at one a.m.

Your smell still reeking all over me.

Memories fading in and out.

Our lives black and white, no gray to see.

Gasping for air in darkness with only the light of technology.

Not caring about the outcome, just wanting to be free.

Time keeps passing by, yet it's like you're still controlling me.

Even though you're with her, you keep doing little things.


No matter how high I get I see you in my dreams.

On replay in my head, your lips against mine.

We didn't know then but it would be our first and last time.

All I can do is sit here while my head and heart just screams.

You told me "Don't mess up this time".

If you only knew how I felt back then, maybe now, we could see eye to eye.


You told me to wait.

Its been over a year.

You made your choice, even made mine.

When goodbye was out the question.

You made it clear to see.

Both of you all over Insta, as clothes less as could be.


You tried to apologize for what you did in December.

Yet you have to swallow your pride.

I cant believe you still remember.

Left me there hanging with my heart on my sleeve.

Everyone says you're so unhappy.

I don't get it.

Making memories with her, while ours stay haunting me.


She doesn't make you as happy as you're forcing it to be.

And you don't love me as much as you tried to make it seem.

I refuse to keep waiting for you aimlessly.

I just don't get why you keep doing this to me.

I pray God brings someone in my life, who will finally let me breathe.

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.
