The Life of the Party

This is not me.

The Life of the Party

As I’m walking up hill, I can hear this annoying sound. It's loud and sounds unorganized. The closer I get the clearer I can see this four wall statue made up of some sort of items they use for entertainment called legos, with some sort of pointed figure on top. As I walk closer, the sounds becomes louder but no one is in sight. Until two young foxes go into this type of portal. As I go into this portal, I see different sets of hunters. Inside the portal there are these types of fireflies all over the place supplying the source of light. The hunters seem to be hunting for different types of foxes. The foxes are insane. They are all different and they're all acting differently with no sense of order and control. Some of them are moving awkwardly and shaking their tails in a very informal way. While others have transformed themselves into looking like something else. I can't necessarily put my finger on it, but they have painted their fur and have done something to their eyes that put them aside from all the other foxes. I think about how this wouldn't be allowed at home. And I start to question if this is how they act at home. The hunters are foolish and trying to conquer certain foxes by bribing them with what looks like a magical drink. It's blue and lights up it seems as if they all have this magical drink. I question myself if that is the reason why there are all so wild. The room is foggy and there are separate parts to this room. In one room there are rows of holes lined up and there are both foxes and hunters trying to get this tiny sphere into some of the holes. I notice two foxes to be doing something that seems like fighting, but I find myself questioning the fact that they are trying to get caught by these hunters. These hunters with guns in their hands using them as a weapon. The hunters can take their life away at any moment and all they are doing is sitting there giving the hunters perfect aim to shot and take over. The longer I spend time here the more I want to become one of them. In a way I have this pleasing feeling inside me as I bond closer with these foxes and hunters. It seems that the longer I stand here with out that magical drink in my had the more I feel as an outsider. But they are outsiders as well because I don't know any tribe that would consider this right. I become to realize that the hunters aren't really hunting and the foxes are something else. As a fox hands me a drink I begin to start doing the same movements that they are. And for a split second I feel as if I belong. But as soon as I look into the mirror in the wall I realize that this isn't me that this is all just a game of pretend and I am pretending to be someone I am not. Just to fit in. When I should simply just stand out. When in reality this will all be over tommorow I will still be me because this action that I am doing will not change anything. Or will it?

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.
