The Average Flower

A flower compared to lust

Lust is like a flower,

Ready to bloom and spread its fragrance,

Petals full of beauty,

And a stem stronger than a heart

The more beauty this flowers intakes the more petals

The life around it awards it like a medal

But the flower goes nowhere so it settles

When it settles it finds meaning,

It doesn't need to keep seeking,

For it leads others over its way,

With its beauty on display,

The flower loses love day after day

It starts to lose color and becomes black gray

No matter how bad it got the flower still stayed

As the wind blew the flower swayed,

It started to lose its petals and beauty,

That which was once on display was not hidden,

Left to rot,

It looked sicken,

But that's how nature makes it,

So much for settling down,

The flower is now settled under the ground

Under the ground and through soil

The flower is still awaken through the oil

Why suffer underground when you can be free on top

Why settle down when you cannot stop

Why give up on life and just lay there and rot

Keep pushing through this and don't you stop

As the flower found inspiration,

It leads itself to salvation,

It finally realized reality,

It came to accept mentality,

It stayed patient,

And stopped waiting,

It rose up again,

And regained its domain

The flower gained back its beauty and heart

It has the mind of a genius and has the beauty mark

As it gains and rises from where it start

It captures the sunlight and spreads the love through the park

This flower is now a testimony that the world is designed for us to push through the struggles we face,

It's a sign of beauty

A symbol of grace

It's strength runs strongly throughout those around it,

Look at the beauty it now emits

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
