Finding Spring

An original poem comparing trying to understand the weather with the times. It's like looking for spring.

Finding Spring

Hey readers! Sometimes, I feel that the weather can reflect the situation of the times. With everything going on in the world, I begin to believe in this a little bit more than usual. Spring itself is even slightly apprehensive of coming out fully. There are warmer days ahead, and that's where I want to compare it to the current mood: even if you feel there won't be a change in what's happening, never stop believing that better days are ahead. It may seem like silly ideology, but my firm belief is in spurring things with thought. May this week's poem keep you hopeful during this strange time of seasons.



A breeze, one that is to be warmer

Turns cold in the morning

Early hours are a bit harsher

As the wind shows no sign

Of being willing to warm again

Afternoon brings clouds

But of the kind where cold rain

Bursts free and chills

They huddle together as if

To pull off a secret plot

Foiling spring showers

The day seems distant

Spring itself is absent

Maybe she is afraid to show herself

For she is aware of the current times

The evening, though always cool,

Seems like a whisper of winter

It blends well amid the moon

But with no hope of tomorrow's warmth

To miss spring is like the times we live in

Yet, I feel and know that we feel

The warm breeze

See the spring's rain

Know the presence of the season

And have hopeful nights of the morning's

Secure and temperate nature

It is like the season is saying,

'For now, but not forever.'

I hope that spring can forgive

My constant looking for her

I just feel a bit more at ease

With her around

These times are so weird

So strange

So unprecedented

But I am confident that

Spring will comfort us again

For right now, we feel unsure

However, rest assure that spring,

When she arrives fully,

Will keep us even more cheerful

Than before

Not forever shall we be left in the coolness

Spring will prevail in her glory

Once more

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.
