Like a Cloud

An original poem written with dreams in mind. Open your perspective to reach your goals!

Hey readers! I wrote this piece to motivate looking at even the smallest things for some motivation for personal goals. Sometimes, we all get caught up in looking at detailed plans over taking a risk. I am not saying don't plan (I feel best when goals are planned!), but don't forget to give yourself the opportunity to take a different approach with things. You never know what more inspiration can be uncovered. As always, go live out your dreams! Much love.


I saw a cloud in the sky,

And I wondered, 'how freely they slide'

The expanse of this one was noticeably large

As it smoothly glided across the earth's dome

That cloud moved so effortlessly on it's own

Without worry someone wouldn't leave it alone

I so badly wished to be as lazily unrestricted

As that cloud, seeing all there was to see

Those days, I felt like the things I wanted

Fell out of my grasp, being left and forgotten

The places I wanted to see and go to

Where all but ignored and undefined

Again and again, I tried to find new perspectives

Hoping, one day, I could get the impression

That, like a cloud, I could see all there was

And be all that I sought to

'How much does a cloud see in a day?'

I questioned out loud

Yet, a thought occurred to me on how:

I can regain those dreams again

If I truly believe I can achieve it

Though a cloud's journey is different

I began to see that there was no limit

To how much I needed to have faith in myself

And where I wanted to go

For I can do anything

If my mind is as opened

As the sky above me

My dreams can transform into anything

As the clouds drifting along in the breeze

All it takes it a little push within me

Who knows what can be propelled just by that

However, not giving myself the chance

Keeps me restricted and closed in

I knew that if I thought of that cloud

I, too, could accomplish any possibility

That cloud inspired the fearlessness

Blooming inside of me

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
