When You're Always Going To Bed Lonely
Vittore Buzzi Street Photography

When you’re always going to bed lonely, you stay up later than usual.

When you’re always going to bed lonely, you try and find ways to distract your racing mind.

When you’re always going to bed lonely, you sleep with the TV on just to avoid that harsh silence.

When you’re always going to bed lonely, you have time to lay up in bed and worry about tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that.

When you’re always going to bed lonely, time seems to slow down. One minutes feels like 10, and 10 minutes, feels like an hour.

When you’re always going to bed lonely, it’s just you and your mind, remembering all the bad things you’ve done.

When you’re always going to bed lonely, there’s nothing to distract you from your inner demons. They’ll eat you alive, or at the very least, keep you from sleeping.

When you’re always going to bed lonely, you can’t focus. You close your eyes, think of solid colors. Black, White. Try to think of nothingness, only to realize that exactly how you feel about yourself. You feel like nothing.

When you’re always going to bed lonely, you start to think back to times when you weren’t.

When you’re always going to bed lonely, you remember all those nights spent together that you took for granted. All the nights you would be in bed and they would turn the light off...there would be darkness for a moment, and then suddenly and without warning, you’d feel them jump into bed, wrap their arms around you, and you would both slowly drift off into a dream. But thats not the case anymore.

When you’re always going to bed lonely, now all you feel is the darkness once you turn off the light. No warm embrace, no loving goodnight wishes. Just the dark around you.

When you’re always going to bed lonely, you learn what you lost.

When you’re always going to bed lonely, you vow to never take small moments for granted again.

When you’re always going to bed lonely, you turn off your own light only to realize that the only person left in the room to save you from the darkness, is yourself.

When you’re always going to bed lonely, you can choose to either embrace the darkness or fight it.

When you’re always going to bed lonely, which would you choose?

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.
