Hey Readers!

I've thought about when exactly 'unbalance' could occur. As with most things, it is bound to happen. It is an obstacle. There will never be a world completely free of things feeling or being unbalanced. However, if you have the belief and motivation to change that unbalance and restore your balance, then you can begin to feel at ease. I am not an expert. I can only speak from experience. What I have come to realize about unbalance is that it is not avoidable, but it can be changed into positive energy. It can place a weight off of my shoulders when I properly take time to cultivate negative energies into something positive. I hope this piece instills motivation to always seek balance. Good vibes to you!


There will always be unbalance

No matter if you begin the change

Or if someone else does

There will always be unbalance

Unbalance in the sense that not all things

Will perfectly align as they should

Balance is a process

It is something that is bound to shift

No regard for what causes this

Just that unbalance is evident

But it doesn't always stay this way

It can begin to be ok again

Balance can be achieved once more

Only if your heart is set to restore

Restoration of within to gain balance is just fine

It matters not who can see inside

To truly know if you're unbalanced as you say

Balance is yours anyway

For your balance is yours to cherish

It is yours to own and confine

In perfectly healthy content

And keeps you entwined to

Your soul as it, too, appreciates this care

Unbalance is ok

But, please, don't keep it there

Too much unbalance can cause you to stop

Everything, it seems, begins to fade away

Into untouchable dreams

And it could cause you, under stress

To burst at the seams

But refer to this when chaos seems to hold you

You can do whatever your mind is set to

You're worth the balance in every moment

I hope this encourages you to overcome and own it

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
