It may be hard to believe, but trust me, the constant struggle of having long hair is real. Someone's got to do it though. It's a lifestyle, not a choice and here's how you know you relate to "long hair, don't care."

1. Hair ties

They can be your best friend or your worst enemy. That devastating feeling of a broken hair tie is then accompanied by frustration that you cannot simply ask your friend for one. Odds are they are going to pass you the little useless skinny ones. Oh, or the battle of wrapping it two or three times around your hair. Two is too loose while three is a guaranteed headache. Le sigh.

2. Wet hair in the a.m.

All my long haired ladies, can I get an amen? There is no better reminder of your long locks than waking up in the morning to damp hair from last nights' shower.

3. Washing your hair is a chore

What is a simple task for most, it is a endeavor for long haired gals. Clog the drain enough times and it's no wonder dry shampoo and long haired people are best of friends. There's also the added bonus that simply any conditioner will not suffice unless you don't plan on being able to brush your hair later. No judgement zone here my friend.

4. #HairEverywhere

Our hair may or may not be found in random places at any given time when we have been around. #LongHairProbs is a thing for a reason people.

5. Petting zoo

My long hair ladies out there can probably all agree that they have been pet before or had a stranger touch their hair. We are not puppies people!

6. Fixing your hair is a long-term commitment

Where to begin? If it's not battling with the hairbrush against the endless tangles then it's always having to scramble to be ready on time. It's not your fault you're late, it's all that hair holding you back from your early bird potential.

7. Hair stylists hate you

Yes, I am sure I only want a trim. No, you can't cut just "a little more" off.

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.
