Poem of the Month: Hurricane

You are a whirlwind.

Poem of the Month: Hurricane
Daily Mail

It’s hard to comprehend you

For one second, you are a hurricane;

Constantly changing and swirling your emotions everywhere

And another second later

You are as soothing as the ocean breeze

And we are in sync like ocean waves crashing into a pale white sand.

It’s hard to understand you,

When one day your heart yearns to conjoin mine

And another you could watch me walk out the door for the last time,

And you wouldn’t fucking blink an eye

If I said I never wanted to see you again.

You reside in the shadows that follow me while I stand out in the sunshine,

You’re only there when the light fills up my eyes

And disappear as soon as the light is gone

Where the only things that blankets me is regret.

I regret my eagerness to your 2am open arms

When I should have waited to see how open you would be at 1pm

Where your open arms turned into denial.

Nobody should have to fight someone’s soul

To turn a “you” and “me” into a “we”

But here I am

Gambling on our hearts at the worn out poker table

And even though you won’t bet on us,

I’m all in.

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.
