Wondering mind, thumping heart, I grow tired of this mental grind. Strolling, stumbling, crawling, weary of folly and failure. The wolves of Yin and Yang collide rippling rippling rippling, forming waves of hysteria. From one grows to two, from two to ten, ten drops to two and back again. Why ignore that there are ever more? Why contemplate further while in the midst of this state?

The juices of abstraction flow beautifully upon chariots from orbs of the night to morn. The beauty that streams far beyond while under the world’s weight, though cognition hefty and bright fails to act while under the light.

Thus dousing those flames with ice and dismay that forever and ever pry away. Though beneath the frost a twinge of fright, rolling on under the formidable night; though as it rolls on there bequeaths a cinder; scarlet and brown. Ah, this cinder, a sparkle of lights, far outclassing those fearful nights.

A sound of uproar quaking ol’ Gaea a hero of secrets, of virtue and right, broke through the clouds and stormed through the night. “Tis is I sir, Marius of Elysium,” pondering of sweet glory and will, scrapping and scratching at me she is still.

With a sword of quill and words made of liquid so clear, I challenge thy labors to a battle of bets. Within our contest, we toss and we turn, hoping for advancement, but all that's affected is my aigrette

Before we end I solemnly swear, I will fight and bleed to my last breath and, though you with your ever spawning heads; I will be victorious and yell, “I am Invictus!"

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.
