Restless Souls: A Poem

Let yourself go.

Restless Souls: A Poem

Having a restless and anxious soul has its perks and downfalls

Relaxation comfort and being content are foreign

A lot of people will have a lot of bad things to say about that

Let them talk

But I see it more as something that keeps you motivated that keeps you ever changing ever growing

Its exhausting but always move, always try to get more out of life

It is short, but you've been blessed with a beautiful one

Make it count

Wander and move

Live not exist

There is only one way to describe the feeling buried in the center

It's a fire a fire that is doused when It is trapped by other peoples expectations

Regardless of that the fire still smolders

That ember will never be put out because it is the fuel to your person

To everything you are and everything you can become

It is strength

It is the reason that despite the fact that going miles only seems to give an inch you keep going

There is many things in this world much grander than you

Respect your life and yourself enough to experience it

Go passionately and fearlessly towards a goal

Go upwards

Don't look back unless it's to learn a lesson

You have a world to be free in

To learn to teach

Do not trap yourself amongst bad people

Do not trap yourself in your own head

You have a soul that was given to you as a gift and as a blessing

Don't do it a disservice

Let it out

But don't let it out just to gain for yourself

When you're free share it

Make change, help others, spread a good message

Be the reason someone else restless soul feels like it can move

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.
