Poetry On Odyssey: I Want

I want something where I don't have to worry about if he actually cares about me, but where he shows me daily he does.

Poetry On Odyssey: I Want

I want something where I don't have to worry about it he actually cares about me but where he shows me daily he does.

Something where I'm not the first one to call or text all the time, he does, because he knows how anxious I get.

Something where I can be me without worrying if he'll actually like me and not just my body.

Is it hard to ask for a man who will repair my heart that long ago broken by a father who forgot?

Is it too much to expect no cheating or lies, but instead honesty and communication?

Something without all the drama, yelling, screaming, shouting, and crying.

How can anything that is truly love hurt both of us so much?

To the point of pushing, hitting, biting, fighting.

None of that is anything I would ever want.

I want something where our smiles are everything to each other, where we tease and kiss.

It doesn't all fall apart because we aren't constantly having sex.

I want it real, all of it.

I want the constant emotions, the passion, the heat, the longing, and above all the respect.

We respect each other for everything we do no matter how big or little it seems to the other.

I want a relationship where even through the ups and downs, he'll take care of me and I'll take care of him.

One where we can go out or stay in and either way we'll be happy because we are there together.

Something where we don't care about all the superficial stuff because there are so many other things to care about.

In the end, the only thing that matter is us.

I want something that neither of us ever stops trying to make better, we know that to make love last you have to put in work.

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.
