A Little Darkness May Spark Some Light
Kei Nomiyama

Darkness, then a thump. And then no whisper, no sound at all. Dead silence was felt all throughout my hollow bones. I had no one to go to. I was left with a undefined being of a soul.

Weightless I floated, breathless I waited.

What was next could come at any moment or at any instant.

I wanted to know what was going to happen. Because in the next few moments of this life my future would be decided forever.

And I'm off, Five Mississippi, breaths are slowly inhaled and exhaled.

Four Mississippi, my fingers start to lose feeling.

Three Mississippi, I start to whimper as I'm about lose all sanity in what is this so called reality.

Two Mississippi, impatiently waiting ever so slightly for this treacherous experience to begin.

Then, one Mississippi, my heart leaves my ever dying soul.

Nothing, nothing, nothing, then bang, it hit me. Like a concrete wall being plowed through by a freight train. Just lying there ever so painfully knowing what just occurred, tormenting me like nothing ever could. Coming to a conclusion within myself as to what I just witnessed and what I just felt was something that not only could be not thought of, but something that plagues all of what has been dreamt of. I realized that in that mind killing and heart compressing moment that what I had once loved was now just an inevtiable mystery for someone else to solve.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
