Getting Lost

It's not as scary as you'd think.

Deep within the woods, trees lurk with large gaps in their bark. The bark on the trees nurtures a murky brown color, with several little deteriorations from the number of times they had been utilized.

Not only does the crevice of empty space provide shelter for animals, it also provides an escape for the sounds heard amongst the night’s escapade. In and out, the sounds would come. A person can hear them achingly close if they were to stand amidst it all, as many people often do. They usually question the noises that brush against their ears, and question what could make something sound so achingly eloquent.

Although, after the questions are thought and the answers are hidden, those curious people tend to wander. They tend to wander their own mind’s route, letting the question of that sound be clearer. When people can’t see, they imagine they can.

People often don’t think of the little sounds just being squirrels, or a rustle being a chipmunk running into its hole in the bark. Instead, when vision is obscured, ultimate creativity is released. Suddenly, the sounds heard by people are not squirrels, or chipmunks, or even rain. They are the creativity hidden within people. More often than not, people’s minds wander when sight is evaded, and thoughts are provoked. It happens so easily, even just simply by the setting people reside in.

Getting lost physically and mentally heightens people’s senses, stirs their emotions, and evokes a creativity deep within them that’s deprived when they are certain of the outcomes.

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.
