Eighteen years in and I'm still trying to figure out this curly-headed thing. If you are a straight-ie, I hope this gives you some insight. If you are a curly, I hope you get a few laughs. If you are in between, good luck to you in this life. Enjoy!

1) A curly girl's awkward stage can put any one else's to shame.

May we not recall the days before we discovered leave in conditioner.

2) Humidity is a curly girl's equivalent of the devil.

Rain, rain go away and take your humidity levels with you.

3) Taking a picture outside can guarantee someone will end up with your hair in their mouth.

Cousin It

Sorry, tall dude. Sucks that my hair doesn't taste as good as it smells.

4) You always have a hair tie on your wrist.

Hair Tie

Much to the dismay of my mother, I'll probably still forget to take it off on my wedding day.

5) You don't part your hair, it lands itself.

Haha, hairdresser. I'm just taking a grand guess when I say left. Plz don't anger the beast.

6) The idea of a man running his hands through your hair is not a turn-on.

Oh the tangles you'll see.

7) We all have at least one curly girl idol.

Carrie Bradshaw

Carrie Bradshaw, Princess Merida, that random girl on tumblr, let me be you.

8) Your hair apparently holds an emotional attachment to inanimate objects.

Thanks, hair, I'm so glad you liked that brush, those earrings and that button my sweater so much!

9) You feel like a whole new person when you get a blow out

Blow Out

Strike a pose and try to go to the most populated stores in town to show off your do. Don't forget the obligatory Snapchats and photo ops.

10) Don't ever try to predict how your hair is going to look

Sleek and shiny or fuzz ball? The world never knows.

11) Brushing your hair. LOL.

brushing

Don't even suggest, straight haired pal, that I pick up a hair brush.

12) Conditioner and shampoo never run out at the same time.

Shampoo

Budget in two conditioners to that one lone shampoo bottle. And lets be real, all the containers are still sitting in the shower.

13) You shed more than a dog.

Pillows, food, paintings... nothing is at the mercy of being hairless.

14) No matter how much you complain you love your hair for the uniqueness it gives you

Ooh, sass. How many people do you know that have the same curl pattern as you? What about all those curly superpowers? Do you know anyone who can rock a good hair day like you? Slay, curly girl, slay!

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.
