A tattooed goddess and a football star

They were lovers without hearts

He ignores her at school

But at night they are one

She bashes him in the halls

Yet kisses him in the bed room

They are a strange pairing

Society had told them, they weren't met to be together

They believe this in their minds but their hearts are telling them otherwise

Now don't think they will ever date or marry or anything crazy like that

They will just be that one special moment

The kind of moment you remember for years to come

The kind of moment you wish you followed

You wish you had once more

In years to come they will find someone new

Someone that will excite them at first

But then they will remember the time they spent alone

All the passion they shared

All the smiles and warmth

Wanting to go back to those times once more

But they know it will never happen

They know that if they ever did happen to show their love for one another in a public setting

They would be shunned and deemed as outcasts

There are a few that are in a similar situation who have made it

Who find happiness within one another and shout it from the roof tops for all to hear

But those people see hope in the world

They believe you should love whoever you want

You can be whoever you want to be

But the world is filled with hateful, spiteful, and all around cruel human beings

That will stop at nothing to see the world in front of them burn to ashes

They think that doing this their god will save them and they will rule above all

Both of their parents were like this

The girl’s over baring Roman Catholics

With no desire than to go to church and talk shit about everyone that isn’t like them

And his unwelcoming and unemotional school teachers

But in that moment alone they never thought about how their parents or the general public would act towards them

They only knew that they wanted this little inkling of time would be the happiest time in their lives

He wanted to come out to the world

Yet she was hesitant

She knew her parents’ barley approved of her let alone someone they deemed a “dumb jock”

And his would only see ugliness in her scares and tattoos that hardly covered them

You can’t convince someone who is so unpleased with themselves and humanity that they are beautiful and the world can be a loving and accepting place

Yet you don’t want to show the person who does believe in this beautiful world what you see as truth

She couldn’t tell him that no matter what he does or says, she knew she would never be accepted

But in these moments she could see a glimpse into his perfect life

She could see this so called beautiful and happy world/ life that he would describe to her

But once the moment ended so did this beautiful world

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.
