It's Not Bambi

The meaning behind my tattoo of a deer.

50
It's Not Bambi

It's not Bambi

It's a deer

And it represents what I went through to get here

Fighting everyday

To get away

But there not much else to say

Other than

I'm okay


I can run through this forest as many times as I can

Before I get sick and tired of the same trails

The same land

Wondering every time why I don't take a different path

Because this is the only path

I've taken

For the past

God knows how my years


So no, it's not Bambi

It's a doe

And it represents what I live for

Because a doe will hold her head high

And will thank the sky

For every day she's able to walk by

Herself

And no hunter should hunt her

After seeing

What she's been through

To protect herself

From you


But you still shot her down when she was her most vulnerable

You chased her when she tried to run

You put the arrow right through her heart

And as she laid there

Holding onto her life

You ripped it from her chest

And you killed her


No, it's not Bambi

It's a fawn

Waking up at the crack of dawn

To get away

To find somewhere safe

Because it knows it's hunted

And it lives in fear

But it's learned that is what it's like to be a deer

But it's happy


So no, it's not Bambi

It's me

Because for the first time in years

I am finally fucking free

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.
