If theres one thing many can agree on in life, its that heartbreak hurts like hell. But unfortunately its something everybody deals with from day to day. This is a poem I wrote about dealing with that.


Everyday used to feel like heaven

And I worried I was a clueless fool

And as time passed you proved me right

For being scared of getting used to you

You broke my heart into pieces

And this isn't the 1st time

I had chased you for 2 years

Now I'm done you wanna be mine?

I can't keep chasing fantasies

Cant chase what's not meant to be

All I can chase is my destiny

Regardless if you're not in it with me

I've wasted so much time believing that you would ever care

I've wasted so much effort to show you how I'll always be the one that's there

For you

To Be the one that will hold you

To Be the one that will love you

The one to give my whole damn universe up to you

Cause fact is

Wanted to make you my world

But the systems out of balance

I wonder if your feelings were ever there

You throw these feelings in my face

And your face locked in my heart

I wonder how things would be different

If we had a chance to restart

But a restart just loses value when it's not from the heart

And if there is no heart

Than I wish no part

I can't keep throwing myself out

When it's not to be caught

You don't actually want me

You just want me to want you

And fact is I wanted to

Yet false love is impossible

Cause fact is if we're being real,

You could have had me

but I guess that's a future that we never gon' see

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.
