I Wish I Could

I wish for a second we could go back to the days when having a family was a blessing.

I wish i could go through life waiting for a welfare check. I wish i could sit at home and smoke all day while my children are at a daycare facility that the state provides. I wish that with every income tax check, I could by the newest shoes and purse, and spend $1500 on a car that will last about as long as this new bundle I have in my head. I wish I could pay four months rent on an apartment that I will eventually be evicted out of because I couldn't find a job.

I wish I had a man to call mine and vice versa. Even if he couldn't work for some reason or another; the bright side is that I would have someone who would be home with the kids. He would cook and clean and his being home would help me save me on gas because he could drive my car. I wish I could throw away my responsibilities, dreams,and goals all for a man.

I wish for a second we could go back to the days when having a family was a blessing. When a husband and a wife respected each other. The days when a man provided for his family and a woman took pride in herself and her family. Where failure and starting over was the only option when you, not everyone you asked, but when you have done all you can. I wish one day i could tell you in a way that you will understand, That what your doing is wrong. You are wrong for putting his needs before your children. Your wrong for having to work while he sits at home and plays video game. Your wrong for letting you goals and dreams die. Your wrong this is not life, this is your chioce.

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.
