The Mystical Power that is Love
Feelgrafix

Love,

Intangible, but certainly obtainable

It takes the form

Of a mysterious power

That travels the atmosphere

Waiting for the right moment,

For the right person to possess

To change their lives for the better

Love,

It really doesn’t have an understanding

Of the future.

It doesn’t know what will come,

What can happen.

Sometimes, it gets itself wrong,

But it never gives up.

It falls and it dusts itself off

And it tries again

And again

And again

Until its gets itself right.

Until it gets itself perfect.

Until it becomes everlasting.

Love is whimsical.

It can be capricious.

It’s fickle to the point that it becomes overwhelming.

But let me assure you

That it doesn’t intend to be that way.

Think of love as a mentally challenged individual

It can be one way at one moment in time

And then a completely different way

Another moment in time.

But it can’t help being that way.

It changes people.

That the mystical power it possesses

It takes time

It doesn’t happen overnight.

It’s a foundation that has to be built.

It’s a fortress that has to be guarded,

So that the strongest invasion

Doesn’t even stand a chance.

It’ll never go away.

Run from it as much as you can.

But you will tire very easily.

It will catch up to you

Like a shadow in the night

Or a sunray in the morning.

Only the strongest survives

The unpredictability of love.

It goes through changes.

Think of the four seasons.

It’s happy like a hot summer day.

Angry like a destructive hurricane.

Sad like a rainfall on an otherwise beautiful sunny day.

Yet bitter like a cold snowy evening.

But don’t let it scare you.

The mission is to stay with it

Throughout the changes.

That’s the adventure of it all.

Not taking into account

Certain actions that can’t be forgiven,

Love must be cherished

Be kind to it

Nurture it.

And in return,

It will bring good into your life.

Its scary

The unknown can be

But the amusement of it all

Is deciding what to do

When faced with the great obstacles.

Don’t give up

And it won’t give up on you.

It only wants to shroud you

Not haunt you

It wants to hug you

Not suffocate you.

Love,

tangible?

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.
