Getting Back To You

An original poem addressing that it's ok to "reset" when not feeling like yourself. You are always worth the extra work.

Hey Readers,

I know that sometimes it can be a struggle to really place emphasis on taking care of yourself. There can be many different ways to "getting back" to you. What I mean by that is, there is something you recognize within you that just doesn't fit or feel right. There are changes that have shifted your perspective. I've mentioned that change isn't always bad. However, when it takes away from who you are instead of adding positively, there's nothing wrong with setting extra time aside for yourself. Do things or seek positive ways of attaining a healthier version of who you are. May all of the best vibes find you and help you grow. I hope this reaches someone who needs it. Take care!


There was a time of understanding

In oneself and direction

There was a time of knowing

You could get back to you

But getting back to you can take work

It can be hard

You may stumble and fall

But getting back to you

Is the best feeling of them all

Thinking of resting your worries is best

Always remember that no one can walk the journey quite like you

No one can talk about your story quite like you

No one can live your life quite like you

If you like where you are, be proud of that and let no one take it away from you

If you desire change, be persistent in that and let no one, still, try to strip that away

You can read all of the textbooks

The essays

The narratives

But in the end, it's getting back to you

That is the most important and essential

Person because

There's only one of you

There may be some people out there who also

Share similarities in character or stories

However, they aren't carbon copies

There's a unique set of qualities

Money simply cannot buy

To recreate you

Getting back to you can be hard

But as long as you take your time

And feel comfortable in your journey

You can always become a better version of yourself

There is never a "right" or "wrong" way

To get back to you

Be the you that you always wanted to be

There is never a wrong time it's true

For getting back to 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.
