Hey, you there, sitting in your living room at 7:34 p.m. The kids are in another part of the house playing. Maybe they’re peacefully watching a movie, maybe they’re laying on the floor with several broken bones. You don’t know, and frankly you really don’t care right now. And you, laying in your bed in total darkness except for the glow of your laptop screen at 1:47 a.m. with puffy eyes and a tear-stained shirt. You two may be on completely opposite sides of the country, living two completely different lives, but you’re not as different as you may think. You both have one small, but very important thing in common- you’re addicted to Army Wives.

You've laughed.

You've happy cried.

And you've ugly cried so hard that you can't breathe.

You’ve heard the line “then stop watching it” time after time, and you’ve rolled your eyes every time, because you and I both know that you’re not going to stop until every last episode has been watched.


You’ve felt the happiness, the joy, and the sadness, and you’ve mourned each and every death like you were affected by it on a personal level, because let’s be honest- you were.

You’ve willingly given yourself to this show knowing how painful and heartbreaking it is, but you’re not going to stop watching it, because deep down, you’re an honorary army wife.


HOOAH.

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.
