11 Struggles Of Having No Filter Told By 'Friends'

For a person who has no filter, myself included, words just fly out of your mouth with little thought. To friends who are close to you, this can just be a minor tick, but to others, you may come off as a bitch. But who needs those closed-minded homosapiens anyway? Not I and not you.

1. People think you are a bitch.

It happens. Some people are, and some people are honest. Honesty is not bitchy in my opinion.

2. Your loose mouth can be a source of entertainment.

Get your mind out the gutters, you freaks. Since you do not have a filter, anything—and I mean anything—comes out of your mouth. Swears, sexual innuendoes, all that good stuff.

3. Your loose mouth can be a source of offendedness.

Offendedness? Not a word, but you get the gist. Sometimes you may step a tad over the line, and this can lead to some awkward situations.

4. People are afraid to bring you around others.

I cannot count how many times my friends have told me to watch what I say when meeting a new person. They are on the edge of their seat when I am talking.

5. Honesty.

If you ask me if you look bad in those bell-bottomed pants, and you look bad, I will tell you. Unless you pissed me off because then I am going to love being in public with your goofy looking ass.

6. Am I serious or joking?

Nine times out of 10, I am being sarcastic. But you never know when that one time is coming.

7. Dates are hard.

How do you expect me to talk to you about our hopes and dreams for an hour and a half and not say something stupid?

8. People look to you for comedic relief.

Hold on one second, let me pull out my book of jokes from my back pocket to entertain you people. I am not a zoo animal—back off, you leeches.

9. People may be put off by your willingness to be open.

I'm not going to shy away from talking to you about life experiences. So buckle up buddy, it's going to be a funny ride.

10. Meeting another person with no filter is the best!

My best friend and I are obnoxious, and it makes everyone else in the room uncomfortable.

11. You become a master of retracting what you said.

When you realize you have offended someone, you find a way to circle it back and take the comment in another direction. I wish I could put that on my resume.

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.
