A Not So New Year
Alexxus Hart
What people don’t understand about a new year is that when a year passes and a new year arrives the past years are still carried with you
maybe not in time, but in the mind, heart and soul When the clock struck 12:00 on December 31, 2016, everything remained the same well, almost everything, for the last two numbers of the year changed from a 16 to 17 all thanks to the passing of 365 days When January 1, 2017 hit, all I heard people talking about was: New year, new me, or it’s time for a new beginning and a fresh start But my question is, just because the clock struck 12 and it’s a whole new year do we have to completely change who we are as a whole individual? No matter what, you should never fully change who you are You were created to be the person you are and the person you chose to be and if that’s not who you are now, make adjustments, don’t full on change who you are but make adjustments Choose optimism over pessimism, choose positive thoughts instead of negative ones, choose happiness over sadness choose courage over fear And then will live in the moment of this year Instead of the past ones |

Love Poem to My Refrigerator
maysa Saadeddin
As you stand in the kitchen I can always count on you
To be there for me when I need some food
You always put me in a better mood
No matter at midnight or the afternoon
I can see with your bright lights
While the items you hold are never crude
When you are empty, it makes me sad
Because it means the food went bad
You hold it together even through the tough times
You don’t just stand there and cry
You open me up to new things I now like
Although you can be cold
You still fill me up with joy
The holidays would be nothing without you
So that is why I can’t wait to spend Valentine’s Day with you, Refrigerator!
