Think Of Someday

By Nika Harper on September 23, 2015 / 5,481 views

Someday you’ll give a speech And the world will listen. Not just tech conference associates stuck in a row But lost people seeking guidance in the same way we once sought it. Someday you’ll stand up and talk Not about minutiae, but overall experiences. You’ll discuss your choices and how no choices are wrong But some give more...

Singing From The Soul

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 23, 2015 / 4,666 views

I was 8 years old, squirming on a hard wooden pew in our church. I tried to follow the sermon but it was a bit over my head at that age. Finally, it was time to sing the closing hymn. I stood up with a smile. Our church guitarist and hymn leader was my music teacher at school and a family friend. I always loved hearing her sing and I also loved joining in. She started to play and everyone in the church began...

The Day I Realized Life Is Valuable

By Jai on September 22, 2015 / 5,068 views

In the 9th grade, I attempted suicide. On May 2nd, 2015. The reason? I had a bad break up with my boyfriend. I know, "Oh! It's just a boy!" I get that a lot. But here's the catch. In the 8th grade, I was diagnosed with traits of borderline personality disorder. (For those who don't know, in a nut shell it's just really bad emotional mood swings.) So I'm able to feel...

The Day You Get What Life Really Is

By Brooklyn Herz on September 21, 2015 / 5,553 views

It was my eighth grade year that I finally figured out what it meant to be alive. Every person has their own views on life. Whether it be from creation by God or evolution through science, everyone has an idea of where they received their life from. Before eighth grade year, I'd consider myself average. I went through the motions of each day. I did what every normal person did and just kept on...

A Pet's Last Will And Testament

By Unknown on September 20, 2015 / 2,811 views

Before humans die, they write their last Will & Testament, give their home and all they have, to those they leave behind. If with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I'd ask: To a poor and lonely stray I'd give: My happy home. My bowl and cozy bed, soft pillows and all my toys. The lap, which I loved so much. The hand that stroked my fur and the...

Your Mother, Your First Home

By Life Lessons on September 17, 2015 / 6,500 views

Your Mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she's the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She's the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well, she's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the...

Being Real Is Beautiful

By Rachel C. Lewis on September 15, 2015 / 6,723 views

I love being horribly straightforward. I love sending text messages and telling people I love them and telling people they are absolutely magical humans and I cannot believe they really exist. I love saying, "Kiss me harder," and "You're a good person," and, "You brighten my day." I live my life as straight-forward as possible. Because one day, I might...

Change Is A Part Of The Life

By Sonia Kaur on September 15, 2015 / 4,334 views

Life is changing every day, we only realise it after six months when we look back. Everyday is unique and with new challenges. Some changes are joyful and some are painful but yet we have to accept it. Change gives growth both mentally and physically. Change in life is must because one cannot live same life for years. Bringing one change in our attitude can change our whole...

Paradise

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 14, 2015 / 5,165 views

I dreamed I was in paradise the other day. It was so beautiful. Golden-white light bathed everything. Rainbows filled the sky without a drop of rain. The trees stood tall and strong. Some of their leaves were green, others were red, and still others were yellow. Birds flew from tree to tree and their sweet songs filled the air. There was a peaceful music coming from everything and the bird songs blended into...

Too tired of struggling every day? Strained enough and the skies above you are so dark that there's not even one star which you can pin your hope into? Derive strength from your knees.. Problems come in various masks. They may at times build you but most often shatter you. And yes, you find yourself thinking of giving up now.. You are in an asymptotic behavior towards giving up. Just an...

Pink Angels In The Sky, A Breathtaking And Mysterious Moment Of Awe

By Mary York on September 12, 2015 / 4,204 views

Each month Hospice Volunteer Reflections are shared on the Windows Within Project. Hospice Volunteer, Sky Yaesayer, shared this lovely story in her own words: "I have a great story; it was so profound. I had a patient who was a huge Cincinnati Reds fan and even though I was allowed to take him outside, we never went outside because there was always a baseball game on. Even though there were...

Get Back Up

By Mad Johnson on September 12, 2015 / 4,893 views

Hi my name is Mad and everybody would call me fat and I didn't like it at all. I know this isn't right by the only person who doesn't call me fat is my mom, but everyone else in my family calls me fat. It always mad me cry because I thought that I would never be skinny. That's when my mom put on a song called "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten. That song inspired me to get back up on my...

Talk About A Dog Day Indeed

By Jack V. on September 10, 2015 / 1,933 views

I used to deliver pizzas during a summer between schools in a small hick town of Texas. This place was in the middle of the desert and the heat was usually glaring to the point you'd see waves coming off the road. The sun was bright and shining, not a single cloud in the sky. It had to be somewhere close to 4 pm. I had just started my evening shift. I was driving through a random subdivision...

Never Underestimate The Power Of A Hug

By Unknown on September 10, 2015 / 6,774 views

Hugs are powerful. They can be the comfort you need at the end of a long frustrating day, the impetus to express your grief, a display of complete happiness. They can communicate "I have missed you" as much as "you will be missed." They can mean the difference between feeling connected or isolated, between hope and despair. Never underestimate the...

Who Are You?

By Mantu Babedi on September 09, 2015 / 6,504 views

When someone asks you; who are you? simply say: I'm a human being. I'm one who deserves to be alive, a person who deserves respect. I'm a person who deserves to be loved, I'm a person who deserves to be here in this world. I am a person who deserves to be happy. And when they ask, who are you? simply say: I'm a person born...

Why Are We Here?

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 08, 2015 / 5,635 views

When I was a boy we lived 4 miles from town and most of my friends. As a result I ended up playing by myself a lot. I didn't mind the solitude, however. I enjoyed riding my bike for hours, swimming in the river, and taking long walks in the woods. It felt good being alone with my own thoughts and my own imagination. Sometimes I even pondered a few of the big questions we all have. I would think, "What...

When Did You Laugh Aloud?

By Naveen on September 07, 2015 / 5,759 views

Do you remember on top of your mind when you laughed aloud with great fun? At least do you remember when did you smile? If yes, how times per day you smile? In this busy global world, we are too much pressurized in to our work that we don't even remember to come out of them spend some quality time on our personal things. Remember, you didn't laugh or smile meaning, you are not...
