Why?

Why is it when we fall all we feel is pain?

Why?

Why is it the words we say all end up in vein?

Why?

Why is it children are brought the world, hand-picked a life and force fed a dream?

Why?

Why are they forced to live and grow and look up to parents that don’t have the title husband and wife?

Why?

Why is the title mom and dad given, but not earned?

Why?

Why can people spit out kids left and right with no thought of having a family, without a concern?

Why?

Why are children raised to be what they see?

Have you not heard the apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree?

When will people, adults, children, man, woman, human kind-

Raise a world of stability and pride?

When will we get rid of the everyday empty promises and wishes that get pushed to the side?

How can we fix this and make people understand?

Understand how to be a woman, and what it means to be a man.

One action

One truth

A better you can lead to a better new

You can be the proof

When we fall we feel pain

That’s because what brings us down gives us knowledge

To strive for a better life

And in return a brighter future is what we gain

What we say just can’t be heard

Instead of the squeak of a mouse we need to roar

Children will take your advice, find a purpose and from there soar

Out on their own, looking up to the woman who could actually be a mom

Taking after a father, who for once, is the prime example of a man

Although the role models are not always what they should be

Examples are still set

They can learn and look at mom and dad and strive for the relationship that they never had

Mistakes made can only teach

Mom and dad are only names and sometimes they are out of reach

Although always close to the heart, they can show you the perfect life you need to start

They do wrong, we do right

The way we are raised does not have to be the way we live our life

The lesson of life is to forget and forgive

Sometimes the apple can fall far

To grow and succeed regardless of the depths in which live planted the seeds

To show who we could really be, who we really are

Don’t let life’s hardships and pain get down

Behind every bad joke is just a clown

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.
