Hit And Run, From A Car’s Perspective

Cars have feelings, too.

Hit And Run, From A Car’s Perspective

There I was, minding my own business and wham! You and I made a connection like I’ve never felt before. The next thing I knew I was hit with such a force that I just stood there; it came out of nowhere. Before this impact, you and I were strangers, but now, we formed a relationship of some sort. Before I knew it, though, our relationship came to a dismal ending. It was a wham-bam kinda ordeal.

Sure, at first glance the damage may appear to be surface-deep, but there’s more than meets the eye. You affected layers upon layers of me. The moment was so painful, I’ve tried to bury it deep inside the depths of my memory. I hope I never see you again, because I don’t know what I would say, if I could even utter a syllable.

I didn’t know what to do after our first and ultimately last meeting. You left a mark on me that may never go away, that may always be forged on me for all the world to see. Is this what you wanted?

There were plenty of others to choose from. Why did you choose to get close to me?

After it happened, you left without so much as leaving a note and contact info.


When you hit a car, you not only damage it but also the owner. Next time, think before pulling away from your mistake. I’m not sure why you hit my car. Maybe you were having an off day and your brain was muddled with thoughts, or possibly you simply miscalculated the distance from your car to mine. Either way, you attempted to park, you failed and my car was left damaged.

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.
