Each season of life is beautiful.

Prose For Every Season Of Life
Lillian Beck

When your heart is full:

It is quite peculiar how we exclaim that one’s heart is “full”. As if the human emotional capacity has a limit, a cap on how much pure love and joy it can feel. The most beautiful thing is that the human hearts fullness can be exceeded over and over. Revel in your fullness, swim to its depth and discover every square inch of its expansive terrain. Cherish each moment your heart is full because each time is different and just as beautiful.

Heartbreak:

You've endured the sweet, encompassing bliss of summer.Tasted its nectar and basked in its glow. Just because the leaves are changing and the air becomes crisper, doesn't take away the nostalgic joy. Just because autumn doesn't resemble summer doesn't negate autumn of its harvest. The fall is always the purest form of learning how to land.

New life:

Birth, the forthcoming of a new life. The first page of a book yet untitled. Boundless and endless opportunities. How innocent, precious and pure. Life in its earliest stage leaves a mark on the people writing there final page.

Death:

Death, the parting of the soul. The last page of book permanently titled. Opportunity is a figment of the past. How resounding, finite and unchangeable. Life in its final stage leaves a mark on the people writing their earliest page.

Friends:

Friendship is a verb and choice. In a world in which many things are fleeting and obsolete, how meaningful is it to know someone chooses to freely give you love? Friendships are when two souls connect. There is not a speck of force or coercion present. I have yet to know anything as memorizing as that. Let them know that.

Family:

No painting is a perfect masterpiece. One viewer could appreciate its beauty while another onlooker could be scratching its head in sheer bewilderment on what is happening. There are odd blotches of paint in some corners and perfect strokes in another corner, just like a family. Family isn't perfect but you are stuck for life so why not frame it, accept the mess and let the people stare.

Confident times:

Are you alive? Well if you are reading this I would hope so. So look, there is one thing to be confident about: your existence. The other bonuses about your personality are just the cherry on top.

Insecurity:

You need to realize that someone's opinion of you doesn't alter your worth. You were beautiful he told you so. You are still beautiful after she told you that you weren't. True beauty is not found in your appearance. Real beauty radiates when you exude love, happiness and kindness to others and yourself. It is better to be valued than to be lusted after. It means more to be respected than to have constant attention. Most of all, know your worth and never compromise.

Love:

Isn't it a miracle for two different people to feel the same unbreakable bond? Love, in all of its forms in which it morphs and contorts into, weaves all things together. What would life be without love? Meaningless. Love brings forth life, in many ways. Love knits together the most unlikely of strings to create the most beautiful of creations. Love knows no bounds and is unrestrained. What is more freeing than that? Love is the freedom of the soul.

Life changes:

Cherish the phase of the moon. The moon descends and grows, ultimately always leaving a trail of growth back to the fullness of its creation.

The good times:

I hear her exclaim "Those were the good ole days". No mam, these are the good ole days. The people and opportunities in your life in this exact moment are not a permanent occurrence. A rose cannot bloom unless it is watered. A rose cannot be compared to a sunflower. If you overlook the upkeep of a flower its petals begin to wither away before your eyes. How could this happen? Because for life to grow it must be appreciated.

Hard times:

Be thankful you have felt the passion and exhilarating touch of a waves crescendo. Just because you're in a low tide, it doesn't mean the wave wont crash again.

The certainty of life:

Certainty gives us peace and comfort. Find peace that you certainly are worthy. Worthy of loving yourself, forgiveness and the love of others.Find comfort in the fact you can start a new, any time you please. It is certain that you can build your dreams into reality, how powerful is that? It is certain you have the power to alter someones life for the better. Finally, it is certain you are the only YOU that will ever walk the earth. You are irreplaceable, so you certainly have a purpose. Make that your peace.

Uncertainty:

When i worry about my life plan I remember, planning out ones future is like adjusting the sails of a ship before it goes out to sea. There is no way to know what awaits you, so why adjust and plan for the unknown, Enjoy the journey and let life unfold.

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.
