A Recollection Of My First Poem 'Connect'

This is where my poetry journey began.

We met in The Jungle

conversing about our goals and dreams

Wondering what life will give us.

Stuck in the dust from people in our lives that have mistreated us

trying to find that motivation to erase them from our lives

they've turned into people that we began to despise.

We connected

we were on this vibe,

both on this ride to happiness --

not for them but for ourselves.

We live the life of hopeless romantics and literary geniuses.

The passion, the affection, the dream.

The dream to be bigger than we ever dreamed,

the dream we're going to make bigger than it ever seemed.

We met in The Jungle.

Two individuals with the same fade and the same shade,

shade of chocolate that lightens in the dark.

Lifted by our creative minds and extensive drives,

we will make it, out The Jungle, together.

At least that's what it seems.

When we're together it just flows,

especially when we recite those intensive Drake flows.

He's our idol.

We get excited by his lyrics, his name, and how he is definitely running the game.

It's like damn...are we one in the same?

We homies right now and that's cool with me.

We can help each other become the people we want to be.

I'll be there for you and you be there for me,

as we watch each other grow and go off happily.

We met in The Jungle.

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.
