Poetry On Odyssey: Home For The Holidays

There's nothing better than going home to open arms.

There’s a thin line out on the horizon where the

Sky meets the sea and they so

Effortlessly unite to compose the

Entirety of our world.


It’s a concept so simple, so utterly

Real, that two natural masses call

The same Earth

Home.


A gentle silence touched the

Cold, dark air as we drove past

Our favorite restaurants, boutiques,

And old memories made.


Soft lights hung from the trees and lit

The night sky, illuminating the dark and

Welcoming the season of

Travel and friends.


Their eyes are bright and their smiles

Wide – there’s a distinguished

Warmth in the way they hold

Each other close.


The air inside the home is filled with the

Scent of holiday food and treats full of

Sugar – some of the best memories

Are made over meals.


Hellos and Goodbyes are more commonly

Spoken after each new year, after

Each person leaves, after each

One of us grows.


It’s a time to say thanks, to love, and

To give. It’s a time to remember the good

That you have – what lies

On your own horizon.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
