I’m Breaking Up With Writer’s Block

It's been a long time coming, but you gotta go...

Dear Writer’s Block,

Forgive my non-cliché intro but it’s definitely you, not me. You see, I have to call it quits. It’s time I hunt for greener pastures and frankly, I feel like you have been weighing me down and dragging me back.

I don’t think we are well suited for each other, due to our inherent differences. You’re slow when I try to be fast. You’re a blank wall when I try to paint a beautiful picture.

They say opposites attract but I feel like the case is opposite for us. I would like there to be an instant and permanent repulsion between us from now on.

We aren’t meant to be together so, I hope you will take the hint and back off. Let me have my green pastures and enjoy the free flow of creativity. I know you may be surprised by this but really, you shouldn’t.

Not many people will be able to handle what you bring to the table.

I hope you have fun in another person’s life and I sincerely wish you guys the best of luck. I really wish that you would leave me alone to carry on with this life without a whisper, shout, message or even email from you.

I would much rather erase all traces of your presence from my life and I hope that is just fine with you. We haven’t been on the same page for a long while now and you know it. I was always sad, and you were just how you always are.

I can’t deal with that kind of stress right now and I am determined to move on from what we had. Please don’t be one of those jealous exes that always hangs around and tries to spoil things. I believe you are better than that. I pray you are better than that.

With luck, we can both move on from the years we spent together and flourish in our new lives. I am not grateful for the time we wasted on each other but since we cannot change the past, we must mend the future. Today.

Goodbye forever, Writer’s Block. Go torment some other writer.

Yours truly,

Newly Creative Writer.

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.
