The Irony Of Dying On Your Birthday

My friend, do not mourn or shed a tear, because you have nothing to fear.

The Irony Of Dying On Your Birthday
WeHeartIt

So, I am not a saint in the eyes of the Lord, nor am I a demon. Some days I am easily pushed to my limit and I wish to doze off into a deep everlasting sleep. You see, I hide behind shy tears and fake smiles. You will find teardrops on my pillowcase and sentimental words on my pages. When the sun goes down, you might find me looking up at the sky in search of my friend.

The pressure, the light and the crowd? I cannot do it. I feel most invisible in a sea of individuals so please do not shine the light on me because I might disintegrate. You see, I enjoy roaming in the shadows. Just let me sit in the memories of these gallows.

Skin, flesh, blood and bones ... isn’t that what we humans are composed of? Oh wait, is it judgment, assumptions, envy, and hatred? Yes? Well, if so, then I don't like being human; because I hold eyes to see beyond life's disguises, I bear ears to hear the truth of the wise. My lips? Well, my lips speak of an ill mind ... even though it was forbidden at that times.

There are just those days when you make me want to fall into a deep everlasting sleep. The words you speak drift me so far away and if I were to leave the same day I came, here are the words I would say: My friend, do not mourn or shed a tear because you have nothing to fear. This world we live in is cruel! The ones who rule cause pain and suffering. But you, you are strong and mighty. Do not let them take you down! You, my darling, were put on this earth for a purpose! Death is not a threat. Death is nothing to fear. But death is easy, free from worries. Now, life; life is hard, firm, and solid as a stone. Just always remember, you are never alone. If I were to leave this world today, those are the words I would utterly say.

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.
