The Distance Between Lovers

The oceans, mountains and valleys between two lovers.

I think one of the hardest things in life is realizing that someone you love infinitely is just not right for you - or at least not right for you right now. Usually in moments like these even realizing that the person you love isn't right for this period in your life is devastating. You want so badly to wake up every day and kiss them on their cheek or make dinner for them after work. You want to be comforted by them when sorrow engulfs your soul and when your mind has turned into a dark place. You want to feel their presence as you walk into the house, smell their cologne. But life is never that simple. Life never gives you exactly what you want when you want it. It makes you wait and wait until you're ready and prepared.

Have you ever seen someone and the moment you lay your eyes on them you just know? You know that this man or woman will be so influential in your life that you will never be able to vanquish the effect they have on your heart or soul. They will be able to light up your eyes as soon as they walk into a room. Together you're electric. It's like when water hangs around an exposed wire. You're both just waiting for the chance to set a fire inside each other. You understand each other better than two people can because you were cut from the tree. There's no use trying to find another him or her because there never will be another them. The way you two are the same and different all in the same instant raises a contradiction that neither of you quite understand. It's like fate and the universe just don't see eye to eye. Fate slams you together and the world stretches you apart. The only hope you have is that one day the two will align. That the chemistry you two share will not only inhabit your mind and body but inhabit your reality. That through the good and the bad you'll end up by each other's side.

There are days that are harder than others - when you feel like giving up. When you feel like you have no direction or purpose. There are days when your heart yearns for your person, but you are oceans, mountains, and valleys apart. All you have is the hope that lies in your heart. The hope that the oceans, mountains, and valley will concave and form a path to one another. You hope that the universe will finally allow fate to take the wheel. But right now all you have is hope - hope that life knows what the hell it's doing.

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.
