Thank You, Music

You make life what life is supposed to be.

Thank You, Music

Show us your secrets, oh beautiful song.

Give me a reason to keep going on.

Your brushstroke of art has so much to tell.

You calm my fears, for you know me so well.

You can make the world stop with just a simple tune.

With every ending note, you are gone too soon.

A healing blanket, a gently touch,

a warm hug, a safety crutch.

As a mother, you cradle our cries.

Your ways of love bear no disguise.

You move mountains, you calm the storm.

A simple sound, but a world you transform.

Without you, all would be lost,

our hearts covered with a layer of frost.

No light would show, no dark or night,

You taught us to live, and live with such might.

But some cannot hear you, their ears have been closed.

So many fall silent, their words undisclosed.

How can one not feel you and your beautiful sound?

They have closed their eyes, their heart has been bound.

But the lock with break, and the walls will crack.

And those that wouldn't hear you will never go back.

For you silence guns, you raise up sails.

And you travel across worlds, leading peace's trails.

Thank you for giving us life. Thank you for giving us hope.

Thank you for helping us grieve and helping us cope.

You will not soon be forgotten, for you are you.

And there is no friendship that will hold more true.

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.
