Insecurities: A Poem

Tomorrow is a chance to change

Insecurities: A Poem

Insecurities are the negative feelings we have towards ourselves

Sometimes those big smiles you have grows old

That beautiful body you once teased and drowned with your words grows cold

Those beautiful eyes you have become glassy from all the tears that fell from them

That perky face droops because you stop smiling

Nobody knows you more than you know yourself

Nobody knows the pain you deal with everyday

My heart is so broken for reasons you would not even think, it is broken because I beat myself up everyday with insecurities

That the battle in my mind of loving and hating myself is at the same speed

One is never ahead of the other

Society has shaped us into people we should be, into the people we have to be

Or else we get made fun of

The sad truth about our world, about our society, about us as people is we only have one life to live

Loving yourself is very hard

But never starting, never even trying is what can kill you the most

So make something out of your life

Appreciate the things you would not expect too

And maybe you will find the love for yourself you have been longing for

But it cannot start without you trying, without you trusting, and without you believing

That the life we live now is only temporary

Make it memorable

Tomorrow is a new day

Tomorrow is a chance to start over

Tomorrow is a chance to change

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.
