This piece is dedicated to the many hopes I have for the world amid so much negativity. I know it's not much, but may this give some small semblance of determination and will to someone who needs it. Keep your head high and your heart higher.


Today I hope the woman who feels lost

Finds clarity in a world that tries to control her down to her biology

May you find support within these words

Today I hope the child who feels unloved

Finds warmth in a world that implies they are not wanted or never will be

May you find a kindred flame in this message

Today I hope the person who feels defeated

Finds strength in the stars

May the cosmos be channeled here as a small guide

Today I hope a good deed is done unto someone who truly needs it

May they feel the power of love today

I say 'thank you,' in advance

Today I hope someone finds the inner strength they believed was never there

May you wield it wisely and cautiously

Let this piece serve as encouragement to your endeavors

Today I hope that a dream is brought back to life

May the energy that was never placed there create a pulse in the deepest of hopes

Today I hope any lingering doubts diminish without a trace

May you be lead to a happy and healthy place

Allow this poem the space to push you forward

On days that are difficult it can seem impossible

To maintain

To love

To be strengthened

To dream

To be positive

But I hope that all of these find you

And keep you and remind you

That you are so important and worth everything and more

In a world where things make no more sense than they did in the last hour

I hope, yes, today I hope you find clarity

That you latch onto that certainty and push forward

Allow my words to be an inkling of support in this wide universe

Today I hope you felt loved and encouraged here

Please take this energy with you into the world and beyond

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
