Lately, all I've been watching are fables, fairytales and fiction.

Step into my messy movie room, grab yourself an afternoon quarantine beer, and settle in to watch a __ and you'll either have the pleasure of joining me for a simple, animated children's story or a futuristic fantasy. I do believe that I'm driving my boyfriend insane BUT it's all that I've been wanting to watch!

I guess I've been craving a bit of an escape from reality.

Could it be coronavirus? Could it be the conspiracy theories surrounding coronavirus?

Could it be the buzz around murder hornets? Could it be the supposed poisonous plans trespassing onto properties all around my home in Pittsburgh, PA? Could it be the polar vortex supposedly approaching mid-May?

Yes. The answer is *F) All of the above and then some.*

Whether you believe in none or all of these issues and/or the conspiracies circulating, it's extremely likely that all of the hysteria that's resulted is causing you some sort of discomfort.

There are a lot of stressors in our lives right now... so what do you say we take a little break from our reality?

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
