Lovers of Glass

Lovers of Glass

We are the lovers

The lovers shielded by a visceral piece of glass.


Our barren bodies represent our misfortunes and unfeasible road to sovereignty

The only road that could lead us to some sort of sanity.


We see in the distance an alluring picture,

One that could be our future.


An overflowing waterfall yearns for us,

It is the immense amount of passion we have between each other.


A clear blue sea touches our fragile hearts,

It exhibits all of the opportunities we could have ahead of us.


The white cotton candy clouds kiss our cheeks,

They allude to the one place where we will be together one day, untouched by the potent glass.


The rose between us pricks our thumbs,

Conveying our terminal fate.


We are the lovers

The lovers shielded by a visceral piece of glass.


The glass that keeps us confined to our demons

The glass that leaves us in solitary

The glass that keeps us from our aspirations.


There is a sinister force behind the glass

One that is unknown.


The glass will not budge.


It shows us the pure beauty of all we could have,

But haunts us by halting our passions and dreams.


It gives no explanation

And it gives no apology.


We are the lovers

The lovers imprisoned by this unbreakable glass.


Only here to ruminate on the idyllic picture of the unforeseeable future.

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.
