The Story of She

Empathy is in the eyes of the beholder.

The Story of She
Maggie Bera

You notice She as she walks by.

She looks beautiful today.

You make eye contact with She and nod your head good morning.

She returns the smile.

You go on with your day. You don't think of She.


You notice She as she walks by.

She did her hair differently today.

You are on your phone, but you wave hello.

She waves back.

You go on with your day. You don't think of She.


You notice She as she walks by.

She has on all black today.

You are sipping your iced coffee and forget to say hello.

She probably doesn't notice.

You go on with your day. You don't think of She.


She is not here today.

You don't have to open the door for her.

She is probably sick.

You go on with your day. You don't think of She.


You wonder if She is doing alright.

She hasn't posted on Facebook.

You go on with your day. You don't think of She.


She looks gorgeous this morning.

You go on with your day. You are glad She is alright.


You notice She as she walks by.

She is in bright blue dress today.

You give her a wink and a smile.

She does not see.

You go on with your day. You are bummed.


You notice She as she walks by.

She is wearing her new pumps today.

You admire She and greet her eagerly.

She does not hear.

You go on with your day. You are embarrassed.


You notice She as she walks by.

She is absolutely stunning today.

You pace ahead to get She's attention.

She looks down.

You go on with your day. You are disappointed.


You notice She as she walks by.

She is the most beautiful girl you have ever seen today.

You try one last time, and compliment her on her beauty.

She looks at you and opens her mouth to speak.

She is blank.

She is hurting.

She is helpless.

She wishes she could turn her brain off.

She is not there.

She was never there.

She says "Thank you," with a smile.

You go on with your day. You don't think of She.

Have compassion for those around you. You never know what's going on behind a smile.

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.
