This Too Shall Pass

Afraid to let go.

As I picked up the phone, I can tell my friend Carl was upset about something. His voice was abnormal from normal phone calls we usually would have. His breath was hard and it was tough for him to say anything or be calm. I said “Carl! Relax bro, what’s going on, why you sound so upset?”. He finally caught his breath and all he said was listen bro, I have something to share with you about D... I wrote something this morning that I was feeling and I need you to hear it. while Carl was talking I listened and this is what he said.


Today was the day

Where my life would take a turn

Positively or negatively

Where everything was supposed to change

For the rest or for the worst.

I had two options

Turn left and go backwards, turn right and keep going in circles.

Out somehow the strength in me found an alternate route, go straight and keep moving forward.

Waited all day by the phone

For an important phone call.

Each ring was a deception.

My mind start to spin

Wishing and praying to god

To not let today be the worst.


Feeling the need of being wanted

Having the feeling of not being enough

Forcing myself into my work

To forget all the good and bad moments. As much as it hurts to let go

Nothing hurts more than being unwanted and unappreciated.

Then feeling of being taken for granted.

How could I have been so blind

Telling myself all of those lies to comfort my egoism.

I don’t blame you for my downfall

But I blame myself for destroying my own personal integrity.

I found myself evanescing, trailing behind.


This was when I decided that I was enough

My heart has taking a beating

A beating that will be hard to recover from.

I’ve treated my heart like a brothel lusting and yeaning.

Now my heart has been broken into million pieces

Shattered all across the floor, gathering the pieces.


Afraid to let go

Afraid to move on

Not knowing what lies ahead

Making a decision is tough.

The challenges we face

Makes us stronger.

Moving on is scary.

We think of the worst

Instead on the best.

Sometimes the worst

Can become the best.

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.

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.
