Let's Perform Magic

A small poem for you — the inside thoughts of emotions.

Let's Perform Magic

I remember. I remember when I first felt it. My bones went numb even though I didn’t know they could do that. My palms were steaming, my palms were steaming, and my eyes felt a slight sting from them having to hold back something that only comes every so often.

They only come around so often…

Well, that was an odd experience. I didn’t understand any statements that were being spilled through their teeth because they were bringing up words not very familiar in my vocabulary. Words that I could only hear at a slow and steady rate. Words that meant some sort of connection I had only seen from a distance. The words that fell from their mouth were ones they did not mean, so I had to pry the words, real meaning from an un-wanting tongue. I don’t reckon these words meant to fall in the first place, but it was too late.

I reckon a lot of things…

I reckon that I have trained my brain to deter all of my emotions at a flip of a hat. Isn’t that a special trick? It’s all one big magic trick. I could constantly convince myself everything was magic, nothing was real, but what’s the point of living if nothing is real? People seem to think life is very simplistic if you perform fewer tricks, but everyone will still try and entertain.

You find yourself in a puff of magic smoke only to disappear to make the crowd rise…

You will find yourself listening to The Weekend on the weekend next to a person that has the idea of staying for long, but the only thing that is long is the everlasting thought of when they are going to leave. I wonder how many more dots I see before I get to a final point? Magic is seen through wonder and mystery. That’s what makes it so interesting to a crowd. You never know what someone’s next step is.

Wondering is good and bad for the soul…

There are those dots again.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
