Poetry On Odyssey: The Science Of A Heartbreak
Sam Budiartho

I crave for colors to fill my life, since you washed every shade away.
Even though scientifically humans are able to distinguish 10 million different shades.
I dream to become bigger, to defend myself when your lies fuck me over.
Even though National Geographic claims that our DNA stretches out to Pluto and back.
I wish for more energy, for I've grown perpetually tired thinking about us.
Even though every day our bodies produce enough energy to drive a truck 32 kilometres out.
I yearn to inherit a better brain, then I'd be able to understand you're pernicious to me.
Even though our brains create enough energy to light a table lamp.
And every time I let you break me, I aspire for a tenacious heart.
Even though, our hearts contain enough electrical impulse to continue beating when discharged from the human body.
And even though,
science can explain the reality of feelings,
why we feel the way we do,
why a heartbreak hurts so much,
we are still unable to find a cure for it
besides time -
but does that mean our bodies eventually get accustomed to it?
or do we just fill up the hole with others?

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.
