The Bee

Known for it's sting, It's knees and for being busy

But not buzzed about for its contribution of life

Spread of fertility and beauty

Or the positivity and light in the darkness of it's appearance

While its song may be unnerving it's duty is honorable

It defends as we do

Reacting when threatened

Inflicting less pain than humans do on a daily basis

The Queen Bee

A regal woman who deserves her title

Rebuilds entire colonies by herself

A feminine independence all woman want to gain

We take her name to show power, attitude and to be admired as she is

Hexagonal Honeycombs

In line with Venus

Love and Communication reflected in an insect's creation

Unlike us in our nation divided

They bond together in one common goal

They are a piece of the lovely things in life

In flowers, honey and nature

Though small they symbolize much that is great

Rather than recoil, Respect

The bee serves as a reminder to us to take the sweetness out of life and use it towards our future

As a reminder that while we must always be productive and moving forward we must also stop and smell the flowers

As a reminder that while not everyone may be fond of you, you are still a vital part of the world

That there is a higher purpose in life for you to serve, and things for you to achieve

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
