"Rethinking"

"But we are nothing more than souls trapped within bodies."

We had no choice in what life in which we were conceived in

Born into a world where we're forced to make split second decisions that we never believed in

We view life as an overall existence

By the correlations through the indications decipher the differences between reality and just point of view

Because life was never about me and it was certainly never about you

But we're all just different beings

Set out on a path to explore an uncertain destiny

Hoping that the power of the universe has enough power to guide us to the places we hoped to be

Hoping to find what we've wanted to see

But we are nothing more than souls trapped within bodies

But when our bodies begin to decay all we'll have left are memories

Because when our body's struggle to stay alive

Our souls will continue to strive

And our souls will then begin to survive

Because we can see the beauty hidden behind one another's eyes

While breaking in the callouses that formed while digging through each other lies

But we reach the bottom and it was just another object we didn't want to find

We are all just living on this earth

As a pointless existence trying to discover our own self worth

And as the curses begin to surface

We begin to discover who we are as a person

A species that created time to fortify our presence

Because we live in the moment but only exist in the present

Everything that our souls have had the ability to explore

Is what we've pushed our bodies through hell in order to endure

Because life is just a bunch of stepping stones

Thrown out carelessly by people we've come to know

While we struggle to maneuver our way down this rocky road

We learn that we were blessed with the ability to breath

And cursed with the ability to see

The presence that was lurking deep down underneath

And we found what we wanted to find

Because our souls will continue to survive

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.
