I didn't choose the sweaty life, the sweaty life chose me.

10 Problems Sweaty People Can Relate To

It’s a natural, normal, common bodily function. We all go through it, but some people experience it more than others. I’m talking about sweat … Gross, I know. While I wouldn’t consider myself an excessively sweaty person year round, during the brutal Missouri summers I find myself constantly sweating. I sweat at home, at work, in the car, everywhere. So as the temperatures have been rising, I've spent my time sweating and compiling the unfortunate problems that sweaty people face daily.

1. Summer is your nemesis.

You want to love Summer just as much as everyone else but you’re well aware that you will be spending the entire season miserable and drenched in sweat.

2. You simply cannot wear light color shirts.

It feels much cooler to wear a shirt that isn’t black or navy but you know light colors are off limits because of the embarrassing and clearly visible sweat stains that will never go away.

3. "Check yourself before you sweat yourself!" Umm ... Too late.

While we’re talking about clothing, sweaty people know the constant struggle of checking themselves for humiliating sweat stains. If you’re a sweaty person chances are, you are always checking for back sweat, butt sweat, feet sweat, and all other kinds of sweat. Not that checking yourself does anything but cause you to sweat even more ...

4. If a girl, there’s absolutely no point in applying makeup.

Makeup is expensive and it takes time to apply. When summer rolls around, girls who sweat easily usually just opt out of even wearing make up. “Are you crying? Your eyeliner is running!” “Um no, actually I’m just really sweaty.”

5. Hugs are off limits.

Seeing someone lurk toward you with their arms stretched out to give you a hug is enough to make you panic. You cannot even fathom giving someone a hug when you look and feel as if you just went swimming ... In a pool of your own sweat of course.

6. Standing anywhere near another person is also avoided at all cost.

Yes, hugs are bad, but if you're a sweaty person, chances are you've begged people not to even touch you in fear of dripping your sweat on them.

7. Sweat-stache.

Need I say more?

8. Sweating is expensive.

Sweaty people spend an ungodly amount of money on deodorant and body spray in an attempt to smell clean. Which is totally unfair considering no one ever asked to be cursed with a sweat problem.

9. “You’re sweatin’ like a pig!”

PSA: PIGS DON’T ACTUALLY SWEAT.
Here’s some information backing that up

10. Being uncomfortable 99 percent of the time.

Between soaked clothes, clammy hands, questionable bodily fumes, and the horrible sweat-stache, sweaty people are typically always uncomfortable. Awake, asleep, inside, outside … It honestly doesn't matter because sweaty people are going to keep on sweating on.

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.

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.

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.
