Poetry on Odyssey: Just Be You

In response to 5 Reminders You Just Might Need Right Now

Being who you were meant to be sometimes doesn't come so easy. But if there's anything I've learnt during the last few years its not to let anyone tear you down.

We are all unique and are very deserving of love.

Sure, I still struggle with self acceptance and it is something I try to work on when I can.

Here is a poem on just that...


Reflection

The mirror seems distorted,

But it shows you who you are.

Do not dismiss it -

Even when you're lost.

You are your own person.

There's no one else like you.

Look in the mirror and understand

How valued you are.


You are worthy of love.

You are capable of so much.

Let them know of your self-love.

It is not vain,

Its welcomed.


Self-worth is the first place to start.

For, if you can't accept yourself

How do you expect others to?


Love starts at home.

Put yourself first

And in time

You will know.


You are special.

You are loved.

There is no one else

Like you.


Let your uniqueness shine through.

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.
