Writes Block: An Open Letter to Words

It's a love-hate relationship.

Writes Block: An Open Letter to Words

You have become my arch nemesis. I sit here at my laptop and your shapes and symbols mock me. They are only a few inches from me, but feel oh so far away. You once were my friend, but now I feel like you have infested my mind and have filled me with some sort of sick disease. You sicken me.

I really don’t like you right now. I feel like you are a spouse of mine that has left a sink full of dirty dishes for the third time this week.

Have you forgotten about all the good times we have had? All the tears we have cried together? All the laughs we have shared? All the times I spilled hot coffee on you while you lay on the cream matte in my hands…does all this mean nothing?

You have betrayed me for the last time. I never want to come back to you. The self hatred and hurt you have caused me is no longer necessary. I no longer need the abuse that I find in you. We are through.

But, I can’t actually make myself leave. All of the good you have brought me is much greater than the hurt. The momentary pain I find with you is much less than the long lasting joy you bring me. This relationship is not one sided like I sometimes feel. We work well together. I love you.

This love will never fade even though some days it feels like I want to wipe it from my memory completely. This is not an abusive relationship we have, it is a real relationship.

Let’s start working together again please.

I hate when we fight like this.

I am happy we figured this out.

I have a paper to write.

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.
