The Butterflies Of Summer End

Summer is not over, only close.

The Butterflies Of Summer End
Joseph M Foster

This is the specific time of a very special episode within a year, when an awkward feeling of change occurs; the beloved bitter end of summer. The timely holidays have come and gone. Placing us in the mind state to fully embrace the final weeks of this season, one that is recognized to be idolized for the majority days of the others.

The beloved summer isn’t quiet over, but close. The sun is still shinning, bright and hot high in the sky, but this is not to last long. A great portion of this chapter has past, and we have finally gotten use to this fantasy way of life: three months absent from some partial aspects of our routine responsibilities that dominate a majority of the year. We can finally be free from the classroom; hassling with snow and freezing weather; debating with yourself on what multilayer outfit to choose; free from the sunsets that seem premature. Life seems easier in the summer. Now that this is almost over, focus begins to shift to what is next and incoming, we have finally mastered the practices to utilize the the current period which we reside.

The final weeks of summer are a time to understand what it means to live as we should— optimally and to the fullest. It's also a time to excited for the shift that is inevitable. It is also a time to be excited for the shift that is inevitable.

Back to school season will soon be upon us. The fuss of football and basketball season will greet us with the simultaneous end of baseball, and all the while a consistent change will be dramatically brewing in the scheme of the weather. Holidays are about to have a much different, more sentimental meaning, a time to be surrounded by loved ones and optimistically look into the future.

The feeling is weird and aggressive; when everything we came to know is suddenly all about to end. This sensation becomes physical as its reality gets closer and the appropriate preparation is then, in turn—mandatory.

Once we comprehend that our feelings are a resistance to change, we begin to feel accustomed to the matter. The buzz of all of this, begins to get exciting — we begin to recognize our bliss. The nerves arise with the end to the comfort of consistency, and with time we become a new person in a new environment. With a few weeks of transition, we will once again be in the loving arms of a habitual season opposite to that of todays, happily doing whatever makes that phase within the year so unique and utterly special.

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.
