Sometimes, it's better just to say nothing.

7 Things That I Totally Love Hearing About Myself
Tomberry

If you're like me, you absolutely LOVE hearing things about yourself that you seemingly already didn't know. I've been in kind of a slump recently, and I can honestly say that hearing things that I already know helps me a ton! Just to shed some light on the subject, here are some things that I just LOVE hearing from other people!

1. "You look so much better with makeup!"

Oh really?!? I had no clue!!! That's totally NOT why I cake my face in makeup every day!!!

2. "Your hair looked so much better longer!"

Yeah! This is totally helpful because I totally WASN'T regretting my decision to cut it in the first place.

3. "Wow, you're really blind."

This often comes after people putting on my glasses OR after I fail an attempt at reading something or identifying a person from a distance. I totally didn't know before you told me. Thank you.

4. "You're going into Theatre Education? You're not gonna make any money in that field."

Yeah, because I totally didn't know that going into this.

5. "You're really loud."

Once again, thank you, for pointing out to obvious. I must not have been able to hear how loud I was because I can't see.

6. "You're always in your room, don't you ever do anything?"

Yes, I do. I'm perfectly fine. You don't need to check on me.

7. "You'd be a lot cuter if you didn't snort when you laugh."

Wow, yeah, because I totally wanna run out of oxygen when I'm laughing.


Moral of the story is, think before you speak. Because people MOST DEFINITELY wanna hear all the crappy, annoying things they already know about themselves repeat over and over.


P.S. for those of you who didn't get it,

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
