Poetry On Odyssey: Good Vibes

A look into a quarantined-summer day on an island.

Poetry On Odyssey: Good Vibes
Aubrey Santiago

I just want to go outside

Take a special someone and go for a ride

Around the island we go — catching sunsets; sunrises

Trying not to think about the virus


But I'm inside...inside

Talking with friends and we sigh

Talking about our escape plan

And so...we ran


Driving around blasting music all over town

Heading to the beach, up into the mountain before sundown

Laughing and crying, wishing we didn't need a mask to cover us when we're smiling

But we do and we won't let that stop us from our good vibin'


We made it

Curled up, sitting in the trunk, watching the sun sink into the ocean

Now we talk again, in-person this time about what could've been

Without quarantine, without anything


Had a lot of things to catch up on

Guys, whys, and advice

This went on for hours


Went home and closed my eyes

Thought about all the things I would do when the sun rose up again

Countless things I, we, could do on an island

But the only question is when?


It's been too long since quarantine started

And I don't know when it'll end

Though, whether I'm alone inside or adventuring outside

With the people I love most, there will always be good vibes

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.
