Poem: The Heart Wants What The Heart Wants

I wanted to leave, but she convinced me that I needed him, I can’t believe I actually listened.

They say the heart wants what the heart wants, but we may not always be happy with what our hearts choose for us. If something doesn't feel right, you are allowed to say no. You are in control of your life, and I wish I realized this earlier.


They say the heart wants what the heart wants.


I think it’s fair to say,


that my heart isn’t fair to me.


I listened to her,


but I was still miserable.


I wanted to leave,


but she convinced me that I needed him,


I can’t believe I actually listened.


I run as far as I can from that man,


but she forces me to go back.


Sometimes I hate that I’m so obedient.


She made my love life toxic,


and all I wanted was to feel alive for once.


I want someone who doesn’t make me feel the weight of the world.


All this time, I thought you were supposed to feel that way.


But what we need to find,


is someone who will make us spread our wings.


Your heart thinks it knows what’s best for you,


but only your brain knows how to make the modifications.

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.
