The Girl With No Face

A series of dreams.

Roughly two years ago I kept having these dreams over and over about this faceless girl.

Generally, when people dream they have a cryptic message or are completely transparent. In my case, I think it was in the middle - maybe my brain was trying to tell me something.

Every scenario started out completely different. I'm some cases I was in a dense forest and in others I was in an abandoned apocalyptic city dressed in cracks and ivy. I would begin walking but I always had this feeling someone was watching over me. Eventually, I ran into this faceless figure that, depending on the scene, would be looming on the top of a hill or would run up to me and introduce herself. Her appearance (hair and clothing-wise) was never the same. Some dreams she had blonde hair, the others black or red.

It was always an adventure of some sort - running in and out of danger, dashing through the forests, or sharing the warmth of the sunset on a hill. There always existed a mountain of some sort, but not the typical ones we see. One was entirely caressed in a steampunk grandeur.

At the peak of the mountain always rested two gliders which we would use to fly down the mountains gracefully (with the occasional twist and turn). In one such occasion, it was night time with only the moonlight to light our flight path down and there were a school of hot air balloons - each equipped with a spotlight on it. It was raining and we found ourselves weaving inside and out of the balloons as if it were a scene out of Disney.

Finally, we reach the base of the mountain where she usually stands facing the other direction. Exactly like the other dreams, she always turned towards me and mentions the fun we've had and asks if I'll remember her. Of course, I say, "Yes". She then makes her way towards me and her face begins to appear, but before I can make out who she is in her facial appearance, the dream ends and I wake up.

The dreams were always so much fun, they've since sparked a song, a few pictures, and even a comic from me because I enjoyed it so much. I'm still not sure what it meant, but this story is always fun to share!

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.
