Here are a couple of my favorite writings from my journal. I wanted to open up my journal and share my poems and writings with the world. Some of these are very important to me, some of these pieces have been written during bad times in my life that I have put into beautiful writings. I found sweetness in these situations and maybe that's why I enjoy putting them into writing pieces. So here are my feelings, my thought, the people I love, my favorite things, my dislikes; here's my whole life.


Suddenly// 9:25 P.M

Suddenly all my pages in my journal

are about you.

All my favorite songs make me think

of you.

The taste of coffee tastes like you

rich in flavor.

And when I close my eyes

It's you who appears.

Suddenly everything was you.

My laughter.

My tears

My dreams

My nightmares


Nights//2:00 A.M

Late nights spent with you made me realize that I wanted to spend nights like those with someone like you. You touched me and made me feel whole, you kissed me and I saw stars. You made me feel happy and sad, I wanted to scream and cry because I was with you. I looked at you like the way my mother looks at my stepdad, full of love and happiness. I could stare at you the entire night, I would never get tired of looking at you. I saw galaxies in your eyes and heaven in your smile, I felt alive with your hand in my hand. Your hugs made me feel warm like hot chocolate on a cold winter night. But you also made me feel unwanted and weak. I knew that a person like you will never love a person like me. That late nights with me didn't mean anything to you like it did to me.


The Painting // 3:45 P.M

I'm like a painting

full of color and mystery

you can stare at me for days

but you will get bored

and move on to the next painting


Nightmare// 10/11/2016

I saw you in my dream

Again

Or

Maybe it was a nightmare.

You left me

In the middle of the road

And I waited for you

But you never came

I woke

But i realize

That wasn't a dream nor a nightmare

It was real life.


Seasons // 10/17/16

Spring-

You were there,

when the flowers were blooming


Summer-

I loved you as much

as the summer breeze and my sunflowers


Fall-

Like the leaves

my love for you was turning brown, and fall down


Winter-

My heart was cold

Waiting for spring to come again


10/18/16

It's okay

to let things get to you.

What's not okay

it's for those things to

Break you.

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.
