Liquor

For all of those who have ever struggled with alcohol, or any substance.

My quality is determined by shelf height,

The higher I sit,

The lighter your wallet becomes,

My lowest quality resides in a well,

But I am by no means water


I know no age,

I know no gender,

Race has no meaning to me,

We are all equal in my eyes,

I welcome everyone with a glass


I take the edge off,

I inhibit your nerves,

Your brain becomes flooded,

My chemical structure is intoxicating, literally,

But I can show you a good time


Euphoria will set in,

You’ll tell me you’re not a dancer,

I’ll tell your body differently,

Familiar mannerisms will flee,

You’ll spot a pair of eyes across the room


You’ll make an attempt to flirt,

I’ll cause your words to slur,

Lucky for you, I inhibit the other pair of eyes as well,

I make boring conversations louder and stimulating,

I make touching a stranger easy


I never decline a dare,

And neither will you,

Invincibility is not only felt in superheroes,

Consequences will no longer haunt you,

Science will be defied, gravity will flee


I slow down you pupils’ dilation and constriction,

Lights will become brighter,

Objects will become fuzzy,

Just trust me,

You can still drive


I’ll allow your words to fly,

You might not mean them,

I’ll allow your fists to fly,

You might wish they didn’t,

Don’t worry, you won’t remember


The next morning I’ll still linger,

People will tell you about our time together,

The pair of eyes will be next to you,

Your fists will hurt,

But so will your loved ones’ feelings


So what if your friends are worried,

They don’t know you like I do,

So what if they beg you to stop,

They only want to control you,

We don’t need them


You are improved by me,

I merely enhance your dull self,

Those around should understand,

You will slowly change,

I will replace the old you


You’ll claim you hate me,

I’ll be banished from your body,

I won’t believe it,

We belong together,

You belong to me

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.
