A Little Riddle: With A Meaning Within A Meaning
Jennifer Soshnik

Today is humid. It is honestly so hot. The sun isn’t out, last night it rained. It rained today too, but I can see a little blue trying to peek through the clouds. Rainy days give me the feels. So I write, and today wrote a riddle. Well, I tried to at least.

Read it, take it in and then comment what you think it’s about!


For the sky not only holds the shade of blue through the day and black through the night, as continually it changes. Its variations become the energy of life. An atmosphere for the ones in which it surrounds, emotions that carry throughout it. As each day proceeds, a new color surfaces through the empyrean sky enticing the silent words and wondrous beauty filling the lines of broken trees.

Listen to her.

Today the sky is gray, melancholy. Who know the predictable? Tomorrow holds elation. Perhaps despair. Serenity. Nevertheless, as time turns virtue ratifies immorality as day liberates night. Shades of blue begin to engulf life. Illumination. Suddenly things fall into place.

Not always.

As quickly as color, light, overtakes a soul it fades. Though ebony not only channels darkness. With it comes youth. Ultimate endeavors: focusing on ones who hold a pure heart and vivacious soul, the different whose compassion for the brilliant overrides the bland. The untainted shielded by the ones who saw through the obsidian.

You must learn.

Break of dawn. Colors expose their naked beauty. Warm sensuality. Shades of orange, red, pink, blue, are an affixed representation of breathing values. Disclosing the soft vibrancy of ever more beauty. Bringing creativity to places never before explored. Places not understood. A brain twists and turns, seducing the sight they marvel.

A failure.

Earth spins. She dances for the sun, flaunting her ever-changing colors; an erotic gesture. Together they make a life. They dance, painting colors. Purple. But her emotions depict life.

Touch them.

Feel her tears on your eyelashes. Listen to her anger vibrate your body. Follow her confusion with your voice. Smile as she manifests your imagination. Let her happiness burn your skin. Know her hurt you induced with your hand.

You understand?

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.
