We Are Made Of Stardust
Eli Brown

We are made of stardust.

Entirely manufactured from the residue provided by the collapse of a celestial body.

A falling out that spun our entire consciousness into existence.

Humanity was born from destruction.


Yet, what is truly ironic, the silver lining of this tragedy, is that we have a subconscious desire to look back to the stars.

We've been hypnotized by our makers since before we could have ever known.

We've extended our eyes to watch their every move,

Extended our minds to comprehend their existence

Extended our ears to examine their frequencies.


Yet, despite all logic, it was that final extension that revealed the most,

allowed us the most insight into the nuances of our creators.

We discovered most in the sound of the stars.


Who would have thought to look to frequencies for guidance.

Who would have guessed to examine sounds for direction.

Who would have imagined that our ears would provide when our eyes failed us most.

But for some reason, we knew to look to the music of the stars.


We are made of stardust.

Entirely manufactured from the residue provided by the collapse of ancient musicians.

A falling out that comprised the first melodic movement of the universe.

And for this reason, I believe, we were created to sing.

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.
