18 Realities of Being a Blunt Person

Blunt, cold hearted or emotionally unavailable. While we've all had to be this at one point in our life, some of us are just blessed with the god given ability to be terrible.

  1. People always assume that you're generally grouchy or a little bit prickly to deal with. You really are a nice person, under it all..
  2. You can't be set up for date events without your friends telling you the other person is nice...then following it up with, "Well, actually he can be an a$hole like you! You'll love him."
  3. * Eye roll*
  4. You have told one of your friends that they look "terrible" at some point in the day. Your word choice may be brutal, but you'd say it about yourself in a heart beat.
  5. You aren't a good story teller because you find small details superfluous. This makes small talk the bane of your existence unpleasant.
  6. You get extremely uncomfortable with the overly sensitive that can't control their feelings in some way.

  7. Which is why you usually get over things pretty fast, because it's so much easier to handle than emotional volatility.
  8. You have literally run away from a problem at some point in your life.
  9. As hard as it may be, your friends know to come to you for honest advice.
  10. You hate when people circumvent the issue or truth. You would rather just get hit in the face with some unpleasant honesty than be strung along while looking for the real answer.
  11. When someone say's "you're so nice," everyone in your immediate friend group laughs and knows that that person mustn't know you that well.
  12. You have come to realize that because you're blunt and critical, most things fall short of expectations and to not get in a tizzy over it.
  13. There are very few topics which are off limit and you don't get it when people give you side eye to change conversation.
  14. You've come to a "Ça m'est égal" attitude about most social interaction.
  15. As terrible as you may be, you have learned when to be quiet. Though, you usually don't even need words to describe your emotions because your eyes do all the talking.
  16. Emotional availability is downright terrifying.
  17. On the rare occasions you do feel uninhibited emotional satisfaction, it's the most incredible thing ever and you'll get a full body high.
  18. Which is why at the end of the day, you've come to realize the priorities in your life and what really is important.

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.
