Night Thoughts

When I feel most alive.

I love the nighttime. Everything is a black silhouette against the grey sky, and it is so peaceful. There are no loud horns or people talking, just the sounds of crickets chirping. I feel calm and everything around me is in a monochromatic shade of black. I can see people walking in the distance but just the shadowed outline of their bodies. There is no judging because no one can really see what you look like in the darkness; they just know your personality, which is the truest form of yourself. I play calm music and drive down the long, bare roads at the time when everyone around me is asleep. I feel like myself. You end up having to use your imagination on deciding the colors around you, which can often lead to you having a more open mind. Some people hate the darkness and are afraid, but I find it peaceful. You may say I'm crazy and that darkness is for sulking, but for me it's the time where I'm most alive. My dreams become more vivid as my imagination runs freely, because there is no fear of being judged in the shadows. I'm in love with stars, so when the night falls I am in an instant happy state of mind. I am surrounded by constellations and trees, the fresh air filling my lungs. It is where I want to be until the sun comes up and another day of work is ahead of me.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
