If The World Was Ending: A Poem

Let's slow down a beat, have our eyes meet.

If The World Was Ending: A Poem
Sabrina Andersonn

If tomorrow was blurry and uncertain

Would unravel your thoughts and pull back the curtain

Talk to me like it's the first time we met

Endless learning of you like no time had been set

Reading your body language

Oh my God how your eyes speak

You have been wondering for a while

Your mind runs faster than your feet

But let's slow down a beat

Have our eyes meet

Time has no say here, please take a seat

If the world was ending

What would you say

If I told you we had less than 24 hours

How much attention would you pay

To things you've lost or the ones you never had

Would you relish in the moment or reflect from the past

If the world was ending

Tell me if you're afraid of what happens next

If this is all over... then no conversation is too complex

When stars are dropping and foundations are collapsing

Clocks have stopped turning and nobody is reacting

While buildings are failing and all the glass shatters

Break down your walls and tell me what really matters

When the skies turn to gray and the sun is more

I pray you found peace with the man who'll stand at the door

I can speak freely, no more pretending

Just for tonight talk to me as

If the world was ending

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.
