The Tale Of Two Lovers

Tell me the story of the true lovers,

Yes the ones that couldn’t live without each other,

The ones that meet under a hot Vermont sun,

With a love so strong it’s sparks could stun,

Two helpless kids enticed in each other,

Who would never forget those long days of summer,

She had a dark beauty,

Dangerous to touch,

Yet he fell for her darkness,

And could not get enough,

He came from a town of broken dreams and regrets,

Yet he was the one she said she would not forget,

They were’nt like the others,

They hated the trends,

The stupid clichés,

That consumed all her friends,

So they denounced the mainstream,

And drunk college parties,

For tumblr, hot topic,

And Tim Burton movies.

They did have their flaws,

It’s so sad to say,

Those poor fragile souls,

Who were led astray.

She had small indents,

That she had made,

Upon her petite wrist,

With a small silver blade,

He would alter his reality,

As best as he can,

By taking those drugs,

To find wonderland,

Both saw the other,

Had damage so great,

So they cared for each other,

Guided by fate,

He past the nights,

In her dorm room,

Contemplating his life,

As she would lay a snooze,

Then one night,

She began to awake,

As she opened her eyes,

To a darkness so great,

A small gleam of light,

Came through the windows,

As she saw her lover,

And heard his cries so low,

She clutched his hand,

And asked what plagued his mind,

To which he responded,

That amazing girl of mine,

She smiled and said,

So why the tears,

To which he said,

Because of my fears,

You see I’ve had past lovers,

A relationship or two,

A restless search for love,

But none of them were,

As perfect as you,

And I weep for the fear,

That you will one day realize,

That you could be so much happier,

With some other guy,

She clutched his arm tighter,

Into his eyes she calmly stared,

As she whispered soothingly,

I’m not going anywhere,

And all did seem perfect,

Both seemed quite at ease,

But there was a hellish storm brewing,

To disturb the two lovers peace.

You see as time went on,

He started to recover,

Oh how I wish I could,

Say the same for the other,

You see her depression,

Began to get even worse,

So she started to immerse herself,

In that enticing darkness of hers,

He tried to help her,

But stumbled and failed,

There was no happy ending,

To this miserable fairy tale,

They had said they’d be there for the other,

True they would always stay,

But then came that dismal September day,

When without explanation,

Racheal just walked away.

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.
