My years,

There was a time when Mother nature was the only one who made us realize what it meant to be something natural and inevitable.

Loving in a way where you were the moon that pulled me in, for there was no tide of mine that you could not control.

Loving in a way where my forests were never damp because you were there raining down upon me keeping me alive and green.

Loving in a way where the air that you pushed over my surface caused my survival, for it was something you did not even need to strive for but instead did freely and unaware of.

You were natural and did not need to try for your forces were the key to the doors of the seasons that the Mother had changing on an axis of persuasion and devotion.

You did her bidding as a content mastermind and I was the outcome of all of your work.

You painted me on a canvas with blue and green pastels and open-mindedly cascaded me across the oceans of blank space.

And every storm that you raged against dragged me with you.

It was inevitable to make my trees fall and my tides rage for you made me spin on your axis of persuasion.

If I lost a tree or control of my tides it would not compare to how much my environment would fail without you there to keep my habitat in motion.

Until the moment of evolution came where I bid farewell to your control and realized there was a desert of emotion calling my name.

In that desert were creatures that thrived in that environment of the hot waves of freedom.

Which is where you find me today, free from the control of your movement and presence.

But believe me when I say I still look to the moon and think of the pull you once had over my oceans,

And I think of the rain you gave me to keep me thriving,

And the air that you gave me to keep my canvas bright.

For in this desert I came in hopes that you would evolve into your own state of concsienceness.

And in this desert I remain until you come to draw in the sands of time that make you reflect on someting you used to believe in.

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.
