Never Let Me Go: A Poem

If it happens, it happens. Who am I to deny fate – to defy destiny?

Never Let Me Go: A Poem

Enough with the nudging!

Enough with the pesters!

Who are you to decide with whom I shall spend my time –

With whom I shall be?

To whom I shall give all my melting hugs and kisses in exchange for a momentary escape…


I am in my own little world – full of wondrous thoughts, full of dreams:

Full of self-driven yet still selfless plans of who I want to be…

For I still have myself to figure out, though there are will come those times –

Times when I want to seek out: to look up, to reach out and call over –

But still.

Still I have to do it myself, yet do not be fooled:

For you see, that is the guise at which we are gazing upon the heavens, its mystical design…


You think you get to decide but appear not to by these pushes and nudges –

Pushing and nudging me in the right direction,

Pestering me along the way –

But you don't get to decide as much as I want to,

And yet I don't either –

Not as much as I would like, or as how much as fate allows.


If it happens, it happens.

Who am I to deny fate –

To defy destiny?


Only fate will decide how it will work out in the end –

Though I can agree my beginning should have been more enjoyed in that sense.

I'm on my own looking but from afar

For someone to return my longing, melting kisses,

Around whom I shall wrap my arms tightly and never let me go.

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.
