Poetry On Odyssey: Series of Doors

A poem about transitions in life

One thing about life is always going to be certain,

there are multiple doors and all of them lead to an end,

however, if we choose the right door,

the one that will lead us to where we are destined,

then by the end of our novel we will find ourselves in all sorts of ways,

even in ways we never expected.


Seasons change just like the months on the calendar do,

just like that relations come to an end too.

Yes, it is sad,

yes, we will sometimes be glad or even mad,

but we know deep down that there is a part of us

that always knew this to be true,

and while we sit and contemplate what door to walk through.


We can sit on our rooftops and stare into the star-filled night sky,

where we listen to our favorite soundtrack

as the world passes by,

but until we actually take a chance,

we need to step forward,

reach for the doorknob,

and take a deep breath,

cause on the other side of whatever door we choose

will ultimately lead us to the path that was meant for us.


A man that I once called uncle once told me,

"Everything will be alright,

so, pick up your chin,

and push on,

because there's more to this thing we call life."

While that man is no longer with us on this planet,

his words speak louder than most,

because I now have found myself reaching for

the doorknob that I seek,

and with his guidance always there,

these series of doors are no longer daunting.

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.
