5 Reasons To Envy Cats

Feline Jealousy is certainly something I have.

5 Reasons To Envy Cats
Erik-Jan Leusink

My family has owned cats for pretty much my entire existence. As I sit here and admire our beloved babies, I also think, “I wish I could be as lucky as them.” There are plenty of reasons why they are easy to envy, here’s a few:

1. They Can Sleep For Around 20 Of The 24 Hours A Day

Whenever I wake up, a sense of exhaustion overwhelms me. It would be awesome to just be able to curl up anywhere and go right back to sleep without a care in the world.

2. They Can Give Themselves A Bath

The hardest part about taking a shower, even though I love them, is the motivation to get upstairs. If I was a cat, I wouldn’t even have to move to take a bath. The only downside is the fact that cats get a lot of hairballs.

3. They Have Great Ups

I’ve never been so impressed than when I saw my cat literally scale our entire screened door. We always play with the laser toys and they both go crazy. It is awesome to see how far they can jump. They could both play in the NBA.

4. They Have A Built-In Blanket

How cool is it that their fur is a built-in blanket? I would love that, especially in the Winter.

5. They Show An Amazing Amount Of Affection

Not only do they show this, but it is in the cutest, most simple ways. Any time either of our cats come up and rub their faces on our feet or plop down on our lap, it gives me the feels. I wish people could show half the amount of affection that cats do.


Overall, even though I would consider myself a dog person, I would love to be a cat and am certainly jealous of them.

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.

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.
