Nightmare: No More.

A small peom on breaking a nightmare.

Nightmare: No More.
Light at the End of the Tunnel

Dream.
He looks around.
Unknowingly existing in an unusual world.
Everything makes sense, or he simply does not give it thought.
The world is ever changing, resembling familiar environments he has seen throughout his life.
A deep unsettling feeling grows inside himself, something is off.
The world shifts dramatically to a much more familiar dark place.
He now stands facing towards the end of the hall.
A dark being forms out of nothing swelling with every second.
Fear.
He tries to move.
His legs fail him and his heart sinks as the Being approaches.
He looks away hoping Fear will leave, but he can sense Fear's presence growing.
The dark essence consumes him.
He feels something snap. A growing fire in his chest.
He feels his legs move, he stands and slowly turns to face Fear.
The fire grows and spreads from his heart to his mind.
His skin glows bright and burns the grasp of Fear.
Conquer.
He reaches towards Fear and grabs the center of the Being.
He looks into its eyes.
No more.
He crushes the core with his hand.
The Being shatters and disintegrates.
The world shifts and the unease fades.
He knows that the world he is in is not reality.
He wakes. A faint whisper. A faint thought replays over and over.
No more.

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.
