vous êtes belle

Women's enigmatic capability of discovering their own allurement had encouraged me to write about our perception from time to time, and I hope this poem can alter that. Written by Celine Arthur (2016).

vous êtes belle

She makes a moue as she looks down to her 36-24-36 quintessential self

The home to her intriguing soul, riveting mind

Espying mindfully her conspicuous white scars

She makes a moue as she catches sight of the distorted temple reflecting in the mirrors

Whining about how her ribcage won't show

And thighs won't touch

She makes a moue as she couldn't fathom her worth

The riches inside the treasure chest

She makes a moue as she yearns the rich taste of milk chocolate,

Turning a deaf ear to the growls in her tummy

She makes a moue as she covers herself in fine dark fabric

To hide this stout bashful lady

Her scowls are hidden beneath pale pink paint

Coal colored lines are traced on her movable fold of skin

She can barely breath in waft of air,

In her tightly fitted garment to hide her pot-belly

Prairie grass are grown out to cover the andesite's fractures that she's rueful of

She didn't make a moue as she notices the stars in her eyes

And the radiance of her skin

She didn't make a moue as her curves remind her of tulip petals

She didn't make a moue as the temple her soul is in,

Is the only temple she'll ever have

She didn't make a moue as she sees home,

When looking into the mirror

The home she wrecked down,

The home she has broken down in,

The home she sleeps in,

The home she lives in,

The home she was born in,

And the home she surely wont ever abandon

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.
