She, Pt. IV

She is fading. She is broken. She is invisible.

She, Pt. IV
Brandi Flower

She is told to just go for it. Go to everything that has an open invitation. She wonders how she'll survive when she's already drowning. There's no hand to pull her up, no soul nearby to walk her through it. Who will help her?

She sits alone, on the verge of tears. Her night has taken a turn for the worse. Everyone is having fun around her. She longs to get up and join, but she can't get past what has happened. Who will help her?

She once again sits alone, not about to cry though. She is saving two seats for her friends. Only one joins her, and they leave together. Neither one was acknowledged by anyone else for the entire hour. She hops in her car alone and cries on the way back to school. Who will help her?

She changes plans last minute and leaves. She heads to the East where solitude awaits. Welcoming arms, more than friendly smiles, and an ear that will listen. No more tears, no more anger, she is finally relaxed. But all too soon it is time to go back to reality. Who will help her?

She is fifty miles out, and the thoughts pour in. Anger seeps through every pore, and sadness follows. The events from the weekend play in her head over and over again, each time more vivid than the last. She tries to stop it from happening, but the mind is not easily escapable. Who will help her?


She is fading. She is broken. She is invisible.

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.
