This Is What You Are

Words are powerful. Use ones that will uplift someone and not tear them down.

This Is What You Are

I've been hearing a lot of negative words lately. People putting other people down with the power of their words. I would always hear the phrase, "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all." and lately I've been believing it more and more. So, in the midst of all the negativity I've been hearing, I wanted something positive. Here goes:

You are such a beautiful creation. The result of divine imagination. The sun and the moon and the stars, they shine for you. Look out into that sea of blue; the blue in the sky that at first reminds you of such solitude, can't you see how brightly it's with a beauty so absolute?

The universe proves your existence to belong, to be right. The sun comes up in the morning sky and even if clouds opaque its color, it will always shine. For you.

The moon comes up in the evening sky and even when it's not complete, in all its pieces, it will always shine. For you.

The stars come up in the midnight sky and even when our eyes don't look up to see them, they will always shine. For you.

This is the gift offered to you. The universe breathes, and exists, and lives every day for you. Right beside you, the universe is living with you. It honors the soldier that's come this far, the ones filled with all those battle scars. The one who's skin is now worn thing, the one who was so close to whispering 'fin"

If the universe could speak, if it could say and speak its mind, this is how it would unwind:

"Beloved, this is just the start. The beauty that surrounds you will one day be enough to bring calmness to your heart. You are one; not one in a million, just one. Nobody else can hold that to be true, nobody else can be you. Exist today, exist tomorrow. You are so precious in this grand picture. So important so pure."

You are such a beautiful creation.

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.
