How I Met Your Mother ended back in 2014 and we are still not over it. Particularly, Barney Stinson's ending, where he ended up getting a divorce from Robin. She the went on to end up with Ted, who had lost the love of his life a few years back. So while Ted got both girls, Barney got none and this upset viewers because he captured their hearts over HIMYM's 9 seasons. Here a few reasons that prove that Barney Stinson is the best character.

1. He's Messed Up

Barney is often referenced to be a psychopath due to his constant need to seek paramours, and he admits that it's true. He doesn't pretend that he's not a man whore. So even though he's a man whore he's an honest man whore. Probably not the best way to put it, but that's Barney.

2. He Changed

Changing is not easy, it takes a very special person to change him or herself and Barney is one of them. In the beginning, he was a man whore and by the end of the series he had been a faithful. loving husband and a good father.

3. Babies and Animals

One of my absolute favorite scenes is when Barney realizes that he is going to be an uncles. Even though he did not believe in marriage and was a pig when it came to women, he was always great with babies and animals which made him so lovable. A true psychopath wouldn't care about babies and bunnies, but that is not Barney Stinson.

4. His Confidence

Barney wears confidence like his suits, constantly. Even though he's unorthodox he never let it bother him that his friend never completely understood him, which is really admirable.

5. He's A Good Person

Onions have layers and so does Barney. He always put up the front that he never cared about his friends, but deep down and one rare occasions he proved that was not true. He's the reason that some of them have jobs, and the way he brought Lily back was truly amazing.

6. His Talents

He is such a good singer and dancer which makes some of his bits hilarious. Another of my favorite HIMYM moments is when he sings "Stand By Me". *Claps in the distance.

7. His Face

Enough said.

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.
