Write a poem about your goals for 2025 5 months agoCycle
Rachel MilliganRound and Round I go on a carousel
For years its been
Now the cycle stops
Where there is room for mountains to grow
New opportunities to arise
For new ways for everything
Making new friends
Meeting new people
Starting from the same roots
But different colors and petals
Most importantly setting boundaries
with the people that mean the most
Positivity for the mind and soul
For the strength the waves give you
Pushing you until there is no more
Not letting disappointment be at the top of the ladderVoting is closed

Rachel, life does feel like a constantly moving cycle that we cannot get out of sometimes. It feels like our lives control us instead of us controlling our lives. I am glad that you have found a way to stop the cycle and make your life what you want it to be this year! I hope that you are able to grow and create joy. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Rachel Milligan shared a letter in the
Poetry group 8 months agoSmile
Rachel MilliganRemember to keep smiling
Keep smiling even when you don’t want to
When the world won’t stop spinning till you can’t breathe
When everything is fighting againist you
When the tide is pulling you down
When you can’t see the life cycle your in
Remember to keep going everyday
Chasing the simplest things
The sunsets keeping you moving
The way a stranger will compliment you today
The new friends you will make
The new memories you will create
The way someone will laugh around you
The moon shining bright
The way someone will treat you right
The deer that you saw on the way home
The way your dog licked you this morning
Snuggling up against you
The way they look at you
Loving every part of you
Keep smiling like there is no tomorrow
Keep smiling to make someone else’s day
The way you inspire the people around you
The way you lift someone’s spirt
Be someone’s whole world
Be the light in someone’s darkness
Remember to continue being you no matter what-
Beautifully said and received Rachel. I genuinely FELT this. Choosing to Be The Light is challenging because there are moments where I want to step away from that in which I create my own anguish and exhaustion from, but I also know of the consequences in making such a decision; I become a being fueled by affliction rather than Love. And that’s…read more

Write a poem (or letter) about a turning point in your life 8 months agoBirds Aligning
Rachel MilliganDear Monday the 14th, 2024
The moment you figured out you were happy
The moment you have peace in your life
The moment you have been dreaming and waiting for
The days leading up to that, finally paying off
The medicine finally working
Means looking forward to the future
Knowing everything will be okay
Seeing the stars align for me
Getting excited about life again
Feeling the joy in the world
Wanting to be alive again
Trying to extend the moment as long as I can
Trying to not to blink
Only going up from here
Finding the strength within myself
Fighting everyday for happiness
No one or nothing taking away your smile
Becoming nothing but yourselfVoting is closed

Rachel, I love the positivity and hopefulness in this poem! It is so wonderful when everything aligns for us after a period of chaos or unhappiness. We all have to find an inner strength to guide us to this ultimate goal and then we have to fight to stay there. Thank you for sharing this positive outlook. I really needed it today!

I am so glad you are feeling better, and happy and hopeful. You deserve all the joy in the world. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for bringing all your kindness to The Unsealed. <3 Lauren

Write a poem a letter about quote or motto that inspires you 8 months, 2 weeks agoEverything happens for a Reason
Rachel MilliganEverything happens for a reason. I use this statement alot. I think in the moment of certain situations, events, memories. Past, present, and future. We think that things will never get better, feeling all sorts of emotions whether that be sad, angry , or frustrated. And why did this have to happen to me or that wasn’t fair or I don’t deserve this but what we don’t know the impact it will have months from now, and years from now. It is all planning a course you don’t know. All that teaches you a lesson or to make you be able to handle something harder than you know of. So you don’t make the same mistakes again. Gives you a whole new insight. And you will realize that it was meant to happen to be able to fight through to get to the other side. You can’t go back to the past but you can look at it and figure out how to change it. It won’t be easy and you may have old habits to break but its all about retraining your mind to be all that you want it to be and more

Sometimes it is really hard to find meaning in this crazy world but this message rings true. It can be hard, but I need to keep your mentality and keep fighting!

It can be really hard to believe that there is a reason behind the calamity that is the universe. To watch the news and look at the world around and lose your hope seems inevitable. I love the idea that there is a reason behind everything and that there is a grand design that we cannot comprehend. It makes the world feel a bit safer and calmer.

If you could send 1 message you’ve learned to every person in the world, what would it be? 9 months, 2 weeks agoRain
Rachel MilliganRemember change is necessary for growth
It can rain all day but prone to flower’s survival
The heat of the sun will come again
And the rain will have already sucked in
More buds
More roots will spread again to make something even more beautiful
Trees die but new ones are planted
You can put your seed in whatever is necessary and good for you
And if not, you can pick it up and plant it elsewhere
Make a new, cozy home for it
Protecting it at all costs
Living with the peace
Focusing on the good
Releasing the bad
Don’t let bad roots stay intertwined in your mind
Release them, cut them, do whatever you need to do
Otherwise you will stay stuck and broken
Clouding what is the greatness of lifeVoting is closed

Rachel, I loved reading your words about change being a necessary part of growth. Personally, I hate change. I like to stick to my routine, even when it isn’t working for me. You inspire me to forget my fears and plant my seed where it will grow stronger. Just because it may be somewhere different doesn’t mean it is bad. Thank you for sharing!

Its definitely easier said then done to change. Its hard but I also hate being stuck so I try a bunch of different things till I have the answer and doesn’t always happen overnight

Write a poem about a dream (or goal) that came true 10 months agoName in the Credits
Rachel MilliganLearning fast
Thought I would apply
Not knowing what would happen
Or if I would get in
Or if the world would come crashing down
Thinking too good to be true
Then got that email
That email that would change everything
The ability to do something bigger than yourself
To the bigger name actors
To the lights surrounding you
To the chance to build connections
To the nicest people
Not the never ending drama
To the people you’ve gotten to meet
What you’ve gotten to create
Knowing you were apart of something
Seeing your name rolling away
Knowing the people that made it possible
To the great times
To the hard times
To the things that make it worth it
To see it on screen
To the birthday boy celebrating
To the cupcakes and singing
To the fun times and laughs
To the premieres and dinners
Trying to enjoy it before its all done
The excitement of finishing
From start to finish
Oh how proud you’ll be
What you accomplished
Can’t believe its over
Till next timeVoting is closed

If you could send one message you learned about life to every person in the world, what would it be? 10 months agoLetter to my inner child
Little Big SisterYou are stronger and wiser than you know
Your thoughts are stalking you
do not queue any hue that’s not meant for you
People’s opinions of you are their own.
You are stronger than you were yesterday.
continue to forgive yourself for not being able to control the horrific actions of others.
Self-love is necessary for your healing.
It is putting you back together whole and true.
forgive any past actions by acknowledging how they have not served you well.
You will continue to trust the process and your progress.
You will not let the fear of being taken advantage of scare you to stillness.
You will stand up for yourself and tell the truth.
You will do it with dignity and respect.
You will be vulnerable even when it makes you uncomfortable.Voting is closed

Rachel MilliganNot a big deal, she said
Everybody does this she thought
But being creative is one of the biggest blessings
It means winning every school project
Escape with my aunt
Be proud of my accomplishments
The excitement of start to finish
The chocolate piano making music sing
The t-shirts of Percy Jackson fighting high in the sky
The valentines boxes impressing the judges
The special birthday cards for special people
The constant inspiration
The constant smiles
The constant love
The constant people
The constant showing off

Rachel, this is a great poem! You are SO creative and it really does shine through your writing. Even though you have a brilliant mind full of great ideas, you are amazing and you are enough!

Rachel Milligan shared a letter in the
Poetry group 11 months agoBroken dreams
Rachel MilliganHours upon hours of time
Of energy of feelings
All for the wrong person
The states from people who have a different perspective from you
The greatness, the love , talking about how amazing that person is
But never forget about the struggles, the overwhelmed
The droplets of rain ruining the cars
Your soul, your peace
Before you realize it’s too late
To stop the feeling of attraction
The broken bottles of alcohol
Laying on the ground and not feeling the same way,
The ick of making things uncomfortable
Ignoring the trying to be nice
The effort and meaning a gift from God
And me meaning a block of clay
And while you are enjoying life
I’m the one with the gambling problem
The fight between the gods
But I deserve the clouds subsiding
On a rainy day, both worlds on the same wavelength of light
The same level of power
Not electrocuting the lines, but
Having the goals and being in line with myself
That you add to my math problem
And not subtract away my life
Do not pull the trigger
To gain knowledge and wisdom
And to be amazed by the museum of art
And to not pick up the glass shards with my bare bare hands. -
Rachel Milligan shared a letter in the
Mental Health group 11 months agoHealing
Rachel MilliganHealing can feel 2 paths
The one with all the rocks
And the one with the steps to the mountain
The flowers that bloom for every little accomplishment
Finding the things that work for me
The constant therapy appointments
The constant doing things alone
Finding the peace with the sun
The peace with the birds and the breeze
The walking up on another chance
Another day
Closer to where I want to be
Closer to the northern lights
Closer to the place where nature is the most beautiful
Where the leaves stop falling
Where your so at peace
That nothing or nobody takes that away from you again-
I think it takes a lot to find what in life helps you cope and makes you feel better. It is a constant journey on how to keep ourselves as balanced as possible. But the journey is worth it. It takes a lot of courage and self-awareness, so be proud of yourself. Thank you for sharing and for being part of The Unsealed. <3 Lauren

Rachel MilliganHi you,
You would be 25 or 26 today. I miss you. It still doesn’t feel true that your still gone. I have seen the way it has affected your friends and family around you. I don’t know what you went through but I do know all the pain that never stops, the ground that doesn’t stop shaking. Trying to pull you under so fast its hard to breathe but you helped me to think about my own life, the people around me. And to remind me that the never ending storms or what it feels like will stop. Lights will be turned back on. Many more people care about you then you will ever know. You will go on to do incredible things, do things that you are proud of and people you will meet that will make it worth the wait. Everyday you wake up alive is the greatest blessing. Never forget that.Voting is closed

Rachel, I do not know who it was that you lost, but I can tell that it has had a huge impact on you. It is important to always remember that we are loved and cared for, even when it doesn’t seem that way. Having the privilege to live life is a blessing. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Aww Rachel, It is so hard to lose someone so young. I am sorry there was so much struggle in your loved one’s life. Sending hugs. Thank you for sharing. <3 Lauren

Write A Poem About Where And When You Feel Most At Peace 1 years agoTime Standing Still
Rachel MilliganDear Country Concerts,
From the moment I first went to you
Cowgirl boots rocking in the stars
Flashing lights like the northern lights
Singing along to the late nights
The late night drinks, the late night music
Us speeding along like there is no tomorrow
Time Standing Still
Living the life we dreamed of
Stomping our feet against the wind
Night Flowing like it’s never going to end
Healed hearts,
Phones disappearing like ghosts
No service, no responsibilities
Becoming one with music
The music is you
Heartfelt conversations and times
We’re all the same
We’re all the same in the moment
Swaying like astronauts in space
no gravity, no gravityVoting is closed

I love this poem! Country music is so fun and I’m glad that music in general can help you escape the chaos of life. My favorite line would have to be “The music is you” because music can be interpreted in so many different ways, which is such a beautiful thing! Great poem!!
-
I always loved going to concerts and would find my worries drifting away, slowly getting drowned out by the music. As a fellow concert goer, I really resonated with this poem and loved reading it!

Crystal Hocklesswhat if you could not speak for two years
you only had your two ears
now you are listening to your peers
checking out Instagram, it appears
they got plenty of souvenirs, but yet volunteered in their careerstoo afraid to be the engineers to forge a whole new frontier
paid education can teach us to adhere to the profiteer
head hunters poach us and sell us to the highest-bidding auctioneershit appears severe,
but you are a pioneer, fuck that career
this is the year to do something for the world that is truly dear to your heart
You are too smart not to start,
failure may come, you might have to restart
your heart be pure, but fear can outsmart
telling us that shit is too hard
don’t be jarred the universe has pulled your cardyour ancestors are standing guard,
telling you to manifest your wildest dreams, they will safeguard
jump into the deep end the universe is your lifeguard
sending you messages in your dreams like postcards-
I enjoyed your poem. You dropped a lot of messages in your moving words. Doing things that are to our heart will feed us as well as our favorite foods.

Crystal HocklessFendi and Gucci are idolized
remaining sane is ostracized
when you stand up against the man, you will be demoralized

I can’t even front I became hypnotized
I can’t run forever, shit, I’ve already been traumatized

I really love the message behind your poem. You’re so right; we idolize things that lack importance and judge each other for the things that should matter, like standing up for what’s right. It’s beautiful to see that you’ve prioritized the sunrise and you’re starting to see life from beyond the lens we’re given 🙂 Thank you for sharing!

RachelDear younger Rachel,
Waves come faster than you think
Trying to catch the sunsets before you blink
Days and years coming at you like the speed of life
Demons haunting you
But light shines in something everyday
Remember to hold the rope and climb
No matter how many steps it takes
Reach for the stars
Keep shining bright
Remember things will pass
Remember the root of the tree
The people that love you
