We are always told to be gentle and calm.

What if we were told to harbor a strong heart?

A massive tsunami,

keeping a steady pace.

A current strong enough to tear

through the ocean with a clear purpose


We are always told to relax.

What if we tamed our wild?

A hurricane without limits,

stirring everything awake in its wake.

A force to be reckoned with,

blowing fierce and true.


We are always told to stay grounded.

What if we let all our aspirations loose?

A bolt of lightning sparking through the inky sky,

illuminating the angry clouds in a brilliant flash.

A streak of determination,

clear and intent.


Stay powerful like a tsunami.

Let your heart speak volumes,

unwavering and indestructible.

Proud but balanced.

Unshakable.


Stay wild like a hurricane.

Undeniably capable of destruction,

but controlled with consideration.

Influential but thoughtful.

Uninhibited.


Stay focused on your mark like a lightning bolt.

A taste of liberation

ready to make a calculated strike.

Premeditated grace.

Unrestrained.


Accepting yourself

and embracing your wild

while you learn to tame it,

will give you

unlimited

freedom.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major.

Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.
