12 Reasons to Know J Raymond
The Sanders Planet

As a communications major, I am completely in love with words. I am amazed by how the ways in which one can pair them up or phrase them can make you feel so many different emotions. I am constantly on the look for the next best thing and by pure accident one day I stumbled across a work by J Raymond. It's hard not to be empowered by his work or breathless when you find one that speaks to you more so than anything has in a long time. So, in hopes that you'll be just as moved by his work as I was, I have listed 12 of my favorites below.

12. "Whether you could handle her or not, you sure as hell would feel her."

11. "They'll speak as if they know your journey better than you."

10. "And sometimes standing back up is all that's needed to stand out."

9. "...we are too much of too many things, and aware enough to know what we're missing."

8. "There's something about songs on window panes that makes it nearly impossible to open your eyes."


7. "Go meet death, look them in the eyes, and let them know you're afraid, but you're just as unstoppable."

6. "Look at us all..... in love one minute, then burning with vengeance the next."

5. "It's love, my dear, that should fear me."

4. "You're not here to make sense of the scars, but to accept that they're meant to play a part in exactly who you are."

3. "I wish I could tell you that she was the calm in the storm, and not the storm itself."

2. "And, honestly, I'm not interested in people who haven't lived and died a few times."

1. "She is not the one."

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
