It may not always be intentional, but what you say, stays.

It may not always be intentional, but what you say, stays.
Morgan Sokolic

You don’t know what it’s like to be with you, the hurt and the hatred surrounding us two.

Growing up you were the shoulder to cry on, now if I ever need you, you never even have your phone on.

Emotions run high, so do our voices. What really scares me are your lasting life choices.

We take trips, get dinner, have good conversation, but you do you ever listen to what I'm conversating?

When I was little, I'd fall and scrape my knee. You'd come running and my heart would fill with glee.

Now when I need someone to talk to, you're never there for me to turn to.

Sure, there are days where I let your harsh words slip by, but that doesn’t mean, on the inside, your words don’t make me break down and cry.

I try to smile and play the part of what you expect, but after so many times of being hurt, every mean word, harsh look, and everything else you do feel like a deep threat.

I know you’re doing what you think is best for you, the way you live your life and all, well, that’s only good for you.

Your life is different than mine. You get through things with the help of your friends, great conversations, a glass of red wine.

It’s different for me, you see, whenever I open up to people. All the time I just get laughed at, picked on and teased.

Always have you been a big part of my life, but how can I allow that when all you do is cause so much strife.

You see, you hear, you scowl and charge. In the end, it breaks my heart, the pieces, so large.

I deal, I breathe, I sob and I wonder, how could someone who says they love me so much cause a storm within me that erupts so much thunder.

The good days come, that's a fact, but when the bad days come, it hits me like a slap.

You say things you don't mean, those are the things that sting. You expect those words to be brushed off by a feather of a wing.

Good days we will share, bad days we will have as well. Those bad days, let me tell you, those are a living hell.

I allow you to do your thing because you’re your own person whom of which in their life knows how to handle everything.

I do my best to make you smile, I do, but in the end, it makes my heart just become more and more in denial.

Your life is yours and my life is mine, All I wish is that our love could intertwine.

Our days are different, that's for sure. Maybe one day they will cross course.

Someone once said that sometimes you have to be scared because that means you have something to lose, but one day you might come around and there will be no me to lose.

You handle your life and I will handle mine.

All we need is a little bit of time.

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.
