Mother Earth

An original poem personifying the social climate to that of the weather. This is the beginning of progress.

Hey readers. The world seems to get more and more confusing as the days pass. One thing I try to do not only for others but for myself is to write pieces with a hopeful message. Even if this little bit of positive energy helps one person, I feel compelled to write it out. I cannot speak for everyone's situation, but as for my own, it has been challenging to balance my energy with that of the events around me. I get tired quicker than I can last remember, but it has improved within the last few days. I hope that everyone is taking time to heal and space to get positive clarity. Much love to you all.



The wind, these days,

Seems to speak more harshly

It blows hard and fiercely

Against the sky,

With the clouds that usually

Give me relief but

Seem a bit sad this time

What has happened

To the breeze of joy?

Where did the zealous clouds

Drift off to?

In haste, I was frustrated

Just like everyone around me

I had to wonder, 'what is happening now?'

I looked around the streets and found

More perseverance from a people

Who only wanted to create justice in sound

The oppression some forget

That this land was founded with

My people are hurting through and through

It leaves us asking, 'what will you do?'

A week from now or two,

'Will you forget why we do what we do?'

The earth knows, too,

That her sadness reflects how

We'll never forget, but making progress

She will set the sun in sight again

To alight our path instead

The sky will no longer be sad and cry

It will be like a fresh sight

The clouds will dance and follow us

To a new day of hope and justice

Progression in the years to come

I smile as I think of what has begun

Generations after generations will know

About the time we stood together

In unity for brighter weather

A future full of sunshine and warm breeze

Mother Earth, hear me please

I have hope for better days

Onward, we move

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
