Poetry On Odyssey: A Love That I Am Glad I Lost

Sometimes you have to let them go.

Why did you come back?

I admit that we had fun.

We were each other’s first,

in several different ways.

We truly cherished each other.

We both thought it would last for a lifetime.

You decided that other things were more important than me

You tried to keep them a secret from me.

When I asked about them all you could do was lie.

But of course, I unraveled the truth.

You knew I was against them.

That I would never partake in the activity.

Some part of you had to know that they would put an end to us.

Yet to this very day,

you still cling to them as if they are part of you.

You know I have moved on, found someone new,

made a new and better life for myself.

Still, you think you can get me back.

You continue to erk my every last nerve

I keep wondering to myself why you cannot let none of us go.

Are we all an addiction, or is there more to it than that?

Will you ever leave us be?

Will you ever just stay gone?

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.
