To Eat Or Not To Eat

When food and the gym are constantly fighting for your attention.

To Eat Or Not To Eat

To eat or not to eat, that is the question:

Whether 'tis easier to buy those fries

The greasy and salty columns of heaven,

Or to indulge myself with a cheap taco,

And, by purchasing, end my hunger?

To buy, to eat--

No more-- and by eating I end the growling within and the pangs of starvation,

That my body is subject to--'tis a pain to deal with! To buy, to eat.

To eat, I surely will gain--ay, that's the punishment,

For in those scrumptious bites, the fat will build.

Where fat should not gather in order to keep a nice form,

I must workout.

This is the problem that is ever so haunting.

For who would want to run the equivalent of one sugary coated Krispy Kreme?

Who would digest such glorious food, only to have the lingering thoughts of the treadmill follow?

To pant and to sweat as the calories burned increase,

But that the bright yellow arches flash in the corners of my mind,

The taste of fries and shakes

No person forgets, yet struggles to overcome.

The tempting pull of the fat bearing food.

And thus the gym beckons me,

Is calling me to burn off these handles of love,

And lose the extra pounds--so soft and squishy--

Oh, it's Happy Hour!--timed perfectly is my hunger.

Be all my weight regained.

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.
