A Flower That Speaks

To me. To you. To everyone.

A seed. Packed away in some dark area. Unknown of its surroundings. The unknown emptiness of the quiet yet relaxing field of wonder. Movement. Growth. Additions begin to form and rise above. Grow larger. Higher into this field of darkness.

Darkness. It falls. Light begins to shine. It shines on the seed. Something so small but yet has grown because of this lack of particular delight of reality. It continues to grow. Taller and taller the stem rises into the light. The darkness continues to fade. Growth. It spreads throughout the sides, the middle, the bottom. A flower.

A flower. Most expect a beautiful flower. Something that catches the eyes of others. Something that flows with reality, yet stops time. Diversity. This flower is very different. The petals are torn. The stem is bent. The middle is dented in. It matters.

It matters. It blossoms. The middle. The seeds. They are seen. The admiration is a usual reaction when the flower gets noticed. It was noticed. Not because of the beautiful, colorful reaction that people had with it, but because of the negative flaws it showed when it was opened.

It was opened. The negativity couldn’t be overlooked. It shuttered. The amount of disgrace it gave people was remembered. A band. Wrapped around the petals. Closed tight. Tighter than a seed. Packed away in some dark area.

In some dark area this flower grew. This flower was me.

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.
