Wartime

I went to war last night

Wartime
Desmond Otto Vera

Little Do you know Night time Is war time.

I feel like The enemy of God is saying, "I'm gonna make you mine."

The worst part is when war time starts fitting the day.

Like please please just go away.

At times I feel like I'm losing this war

Honestly I don't know if I've won or lost any of the battle before.

I'm really trying not to be influenced by such negative thoughts,

but sometimes I feel like I should just take a shot.

I feel so alone even though I know God is with me,

but too many times I just feel so empty.

I sin so much why should I even be alive?

Sometimes I wonder if I should die

No, I don't plan on doing something that dumb.

Although, at times I feel like out of all the choices I have that is the only one.

I want to get better I really do.

It's just that no matter what I try nothing gets through.

I'm not alone but I feel like I should be

I don't deserve all those people who are close to me.

I want to cut everyone off,

because I really don't feel good enough.

Compliments don't ever work.

I hate not knowing if people mean the nice things they say I feel like a jerk

I wonder what life would be with out me

I picture happy faces from sea to sea

No, I'm not going do do anything stupid

I really want to feel loved and not the kind from Cupid.

I just want to feel loved in general,

but something inside thinks that's something I don't deserve or can't handle.

I feel like such a bother to the ones I'm close to

I really need to Listen to what God says to do.

He says "I'm with you until the end of time"

I know that but still I always seem to whine,

because at night is war time.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
