A poetic analysis of the perks and downfalls of Autumn.

The Pros and Cons of Fall Time

Thunderstorm, thunderstorm, and the air is now cold when it was just warm. Golden flavor upon the atmosphere with apple trees to be swarmed! Oh, how fall is upon us as Friday night lights make the world bright.

Kicks through field goals just to make field goals as I try to make warm my brown nose, yet the wind still blows as if the sky was progressing to drop cold snow but I forgot my gloves back home and have no will to return to that barren place. It's true I'd rather stay here in Chicago where the wind hurts my face, contradictory you say?

To be warm is my greatest treasure surrounded by the candlelight, to be held is my greatest pleasure but the cold makes me eager to fight because a sky so grey makes it harder to pray. Dark nights make it easy to keep others at bay, but how could a season so beautiful make me feel this way?

Like the leaves I am disconnected from the trees I call base. Falling through time living only in my mind, my head, gracefully coming to a standstill, a place to rest called my bed. A place where I can relax and be protected from the wind, a place where others aren't welcome, it is only my time to spend. Like money, all the green is gone.

Like honey, Autumn brings about a new song, and that is one of peace and release. I feel like Thanksgiving itself, alone sitting so comfortable in my fleece, with the aches and pains that the season brings about in my knees, but enough complaining because fall time is here to stay, only thing you can do is stay warm while praying for that day.

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.
