A Peer Into The Different Mind

Mental health has its ways of separating you from society...

Here goes nothin'


My life took a stomach flop to the ground

When the anxiety in my mind was the only sound

Impossible to explain, impossible to be

I want to finish the semester, but I fear I have to leave

Leaving may be my only choice

I've never felt this perplexed, so empty of a voice

Everyday, control of my own brain fades

My life direction is now surrounded by barricades


Winter break comes, perhaps things will now turn around

I have a break from classes, I can stay on the ground

No more mandatory heights (for now), no more anxiety.

Although, I deep down feel very divided from society.

For now, I guess alcohol can keep me standing.

Even though the mental predicament I'm now in is only expanding.


Don't acknowledge the pain, don't let it win

Daily life is getting more and more difficult, composure is wearing thin.

The coming semester will be on all high floors

My anxiety of which is like a cold sore on your mouth you can't ignore

I've never experienced apprehension like this

Wearing emotions on my sleeve, the apprehension is impossible to miss.


Everybody knows I'm very worried, just not to the extent of which.

Never have I wanted so badly but to turn off my pain with the flick of a switch.

When the anxiety in my mind was the only sound

Impossible to explain, impossible to be

In five months, in my hands, will I hold a degree?

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.
