Poetry On The Odyssey: To All The Boys Before You

Before is over, Before can not come back. Today in the present is where we pretend that "us" had never existed.

Poetry On The Odyssey: To All The Boys Before You

In This Article:

Every boy before you was dumb.

You took things into a perspective no one else saw. You saw things as they were and as they would be in the future. You would see a sprout of a weed and some how make it seem like one day it would grow into a beautiful flower.

Every boy before you watched it rain and thought about how gloomy everything was.

You would dance in the rain and drag me along. You would splash in the puddles and make them giant lakes.

Every Boy before you thought hunting was just hunting.

You saw it as more than sitting in the woods for hours on end. You saw it as a lifestyle. You would light up in a way I cant even explain.

Every boy before you made my heart beat normal.

You would smile, my heart would stop mid beat. You would laugh, my stomach would fill up with butterflies. You would make a cheesy joke, I would roll my eyes and think some how that was funny.

Every boy before you, wasn’t you.

You were something great. You were amazing really. You had your moments where I would think "Where's that guy I fell in love with?" You always made sure I was okay and taken care of. You were one of a kind honestly.

You hold a BIG part of my heart, a part no one else will ever hold. You and me both know that sometimes some of the best things have to be let go to be able to grow.

Every boy after you, will be great.

You though? You will always be wonderful. Thank you for being you.

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.
