Hey Readers!

I've thought about when exactly 'unbalance' could occur. As with most things, it is bound to happen. It is an obstacle. There will never be a world completely free of things feeling or being unbalanced. However, if you have the belief and motivation to change that unbalance and restore your balance, then you can begin to feel at ease. I am not an expert. I can only speak from experience. What I have come to realize about unbalance is that it is not avoidable, but it can be changed into positive energy. It can place a weight off of my shoulders when I properly take time to cultivate negative energies into something positive. I hope this piece instills motivation to always seek balance. Good vibes to you!


There will always be unbalance

No matter if you begin the change

Or if someone else does

There will always be unbalance

Unbalance in the sense that not all things

Will perfectly align as they should

Balance is a process

It is something that is bound to shift

No regard for what causes this

Just that unbalance is evident

But it doesn't always stay this way

It can begin to be ok again

Balance can be achieved once more

Only if your heart is set to restore

Restoration of within to gain balance is just fine

It matters not who can see inside

To truly know if you're unbalanced as you say

Balance is yours anyway

For your balance is yours to cherish

It is yours to own and confine

In perfectly healthy content

And keeps you entwined to

Your soul as it, too, appreciates this care

Unbalance is ok

But, please, don't keep it there

Too much unbalance can cause you to stop

Everything, it seems, begins to fade away

Into untouchable dreams

And it could cause you, under stress

To burst at the seams

But refer to this when chaos seems to hold you

You can do whatever your mind is set to

You're worth the balance in every moment

I hope this encourages you to overcome and own it

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.
