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.

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

This one's for you, Spock.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
