Inevitable: Before and After: Poem on Odyssey

"...regardless if they were your sunshine or darkness, what will always stay inevitably is the sun and the moon."

Inevitable: Before and After: Poem on Odyssey
Alisa Britcher

I just thought of a wonderful concept: people come and go in life.

It sounds cliche, but it's true.

It is the inevitable nature of life, of people's mentality sometimes. They could have been the light of your life, or the darkest souls alive.

They say one thing, then the next, they're gone. It could be days, months, or years, and the, "I'll never leave your life" line, forever diminishes.

I guess it is easier said than done, to forget them and move on with life... but it's been said to always appreciate their existence in your life. They have taught valuable life lessons for others you will meet in your future life - of who you choose to be involved with, and who not to be involved with.

What's funny is that even if these people are just being washed away into a distant memory, there is one secret to tie this tragedy together into one.

Even when people walk out of your life, regardless if they were your sunshine or darkness, what will always stay inevitably is the sun and the moon.

No matter how extraordinary or devastating a day in a lifetime may seem be, both the sun and moon will always rise and set.

The sun is a remembrance of those who symbolized the light of your life and showered you with happiness. The moon is a remembrance of those dark souls that were once a part of your life, who you affiliate with negativity and hurt. No matter how dark the path they led you on, the sun will always rise sooner or later in the end.

We can take great knowledge from the dark and appreciating the light that will guide us in the right direction, even after the misery of the dark.

What seems to always be forgotten is that no matter how dark a person may make life seem, there is always that bit of light shining - the beautiful, sculpted, crisp, white moon, reminding us we are not alone - that good things will come about the situation.

This is to guide us on the path of experiencing greatness.

Things will remain okay while being drawn and absorbed into the rays of sunshine cast down on us. No matter who comes and goes, the sun and the moon reminds us there is light which will never leave our life. The sun and moon will continue to rise and fall every day and night- no matter what happens in life.

The sun and moon prove inevitably life will continue on, even if people choose to hurt or leave our life.

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.
