Mother Earth

An original poem personifying the social climate to that of the weather. This is the beginning of progress.

Hey readers. The world seems to get more and more confusing as the days pass. One thing I try to do not only for others but for myself is to write pieces with a hopeful message. Even if this little bit of positive energy helps one person, I feel compelled to write it out. I cannot speak for everyone's situation, but as for my own, it has been challenging to balance my energy with that of the events around me. I get tired quicker than I can last remember, but it has improved within the last few days. I hope that everyone is taking time to heal and space to get positive clarity. Much love to you all.



The wind, these days,

Seems to speak more harshly

It blows hard and fiercely

Against the sky,

With the clouds that usually

Give me relief but

Seem a bit sad this time

What has happened

To the breeze of joy?

Where did the zealous clouds

Drift off to?

In haste, I was frustrated

Just like everyone around me

I had to wonder, 'what is happening now?'

I looked around the streets and found

More perseverance from a people

Who only wanted to create justice in sound

The oppression some forget

That this land was founded with

My people are hurting through and through

It leaves us asking, 'what will you do?'

A week from now or two,

'Will you forget why we do what we do?'

The earth knows, too,

That her sadness reflects how

We'll never forget, but making progress

She will set the sun in sight again

To alight our path instead

The sky will no longer be sad and cry

It will be like a fresh sight

The clouds will dance and follow us

To a new day of hope and justice

Progression in the years to come

I smile as I think of what has begun

Generations after generations will know

About the time we stood together

In unity for brighter weather

A future full of sunshine and warm breeze

Mother Earth, hear me please

I have hope for better days

Onward, we move

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.
