Poetry On Odyssey: Lock and Key

Nothing's ever purely negative or purely positive- the ups and downs must be in balance for life to run smoothly.

Here's to life.

Beginnings and endings

Time constantly walked through and passed by.

Here's to the beauty of the balance it creates.

With losses come gains

And with doors closed come newfound keys

Not placed by fate

But by strength and love and life.


As I continue my journey and consider

Bonds that may break

Time that may be lost

Relationships that may be hindered

All I can do is turn my minds eye to the many things that may come to be.


And in this impossible mix off happy and sadness

I look especially towards the sky

To decipher the notes written for me in the clouds

To follow the stars

Aligned for me and for everyone

Forming our new paths to our new homes

Because "foreign" is soon to become "friendly".


These secrets I've learned

That life once attempted to keep from me

Taught me never to shy away from where I'm meant to be

And I hope everyone around me can do the same

Because your will and your faith

Are your security blankets

And you are being led for a reason

So I'll celebrate this ending

Solely to celebrate the beginning soon to follow.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
