10 Things I'll Never Do, And That's OK

Market To

Here are some of the things that I will never do, and I'm OK with it. I've come to terms with my limits, and you should too.

1. Become A Runner

Plain and simple; I hate running. I have asthma and thighs that rub together when I run. I have lost all hope of ever actually liking running, and that's fine. I do have an incredible amount of respect for runners though.

2. Eat Meat

I've been a vegetarian for a year and a half now and there's no way I'm going back. Not only would it probably make me very ill, I just can't stand the thought of eating anything with a face ever again.

3. Be A Size Two

I'm a big supporter of body positivity. Whatever body you were given, love it. If you're a size two, rock it. If you're a size 18, rock it. I know that my body was never meant to be a size two, and I'm okay with it.

4. Be An Olympian

My Olympic dreams were crushed a long time ago when I was a figure skater who started too late. I will never be good enough at a sport to go to the Olympics, and that's fine. I rock at other things like being a mom to my dog and drinking orange juice on a daily basis.

5. Shut Up

I love my big mouth and loud opinions, they're what make me so darn lovable (and loath-able). I will never hold my tongue on things that are important to me, and that is perfectly OK.

6. Graduate In Four Years

It just isn't in the books for me to finish college in a four year window, and that's OK. I'll get there when I get there.

7. Be Completely Independent

Let's face it, I will always rely on my parents for things. How to check my tire pressure, how to file my taxes, how to pay rent. Just some of the things that I will always call up good ol' Mom and Dad for. I will always have their love and support, and that's OK.

8. Love Any Being More Than My Dog

She's the love of my life. She gets me and is always there to listen. I love her to death and that will never change.

9. Kick My Caffeine Addiction

Coffee is a daily necessity. Whether it's for the taste or the caffeine, I will never truly know. I just know that I love it, I need it and that's OK.

10. Give Up Cursing

Sorry, Mom. It has become part of my vocabulary. I will always have a potty mouth. Sometimes it feels good to just say **** it!

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
