I DIDN'T EXPECT WRITERS BLOCK AFTER THIS

My mind is going a million miles a minute but producing nothing.

I DIDN'T EXPECT WRITERS BLOCK AFTER THIS

I get this overwhelming feeling that I really need to write something. When I feel this way, a million different ideas pop into my head like woodpeckers. I get an itch and I need my fingers to scratch the board as the thoughts pour out. As soon as they are set into position, the waterfall stops and I am stuck – high and dry. The need and desire is gone like a sneeze that changed its mind.

At this moment in time I wonder why this happens to me. As soon as I read what I did manage to let out, it’s not good enough for me. It’s not what I am needing to see and process. I know what my heart and my mind need to speak but my subconscious is denying them the option. I think farther down in the pit my body is not ready for me to release the emotions that I know keep stirring and bubbling; though I am certain when it happens my adrenaline will be racing and I will want to physically stop myself.

I have to sit back and breathe in the remaining air in the empty house I am left in. I don’t feel at peace but I don’t feel angrier than I already am. There is no difference, today is both yesterday and tomorrow. So here I am, thrown out of orbit with my mind running in different places and even different dimensions. I’m not numb but I also don’t feel anything. I am just left existing in a world where others I have known no longer do.

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.
