An Open Letter To Alcohol

Cheers to you my friend.

An Open Letter To Alcohol
Answerafrica.com

There have been so many times that I've been let down by so many people, but there is one thing that has never failed me, alcohol. You don't really know your true self until you've stared at yourself in the mirror at a bar at 2am in the morning and questioned your life decisions. So, with this being said, here's to you, alcohol.

To my beer, you're the casual acquaintance that I can always get along with. When I'm with you, it's always a good time. You don't judge me no matter if I'm just wearing sweatpants and a sports bra, or just sitting on my bed still wrapped in a bath towel. Sure, you make me bloated, but you're cheap and inexpensive and still can make me happy.

To my wine, you've listened to me cry about tons of different things, boys, school, the fact that I'm running out of wine, and so on and so forth. It's not a negative relationship though. I'm happy to have you by my side for a girl's night full of pizza and Netflix, and there's nothing else I would rather come home to than a big bottle of you sitting on the kitchen counter for me to enjoy.

To my whisky, you're really only there for me when the going gets tough, unless you're fireball then you're there always. They're definitely right when they say whisky makes you frisky, but anyways it's not all about that. What it's really about is that you make me forget myself for a little while and make me feel just right.

To my scotch - no thanks.

To my gin, you're that okay friend that I can only be around a little while. Too much of you and I can get to be quite a handful, you are delicious though.

To my tequila, you and I have a love-hate relationship. My friend's love you for some reason, and don't get me wrong, you're not a bad guy, but damn do I feel rough the next day when I spend a night with you. Obviously, though, if you can make me feel that way the next day we had a great night beforehand even if I don't remember it sometimes.

To my rum, you're that tropical friend that knows just how to party. You got me through a lot in college and you go well with so many things. It honestly doesn't even matter what you go into you still taste delicious and it's awesome.

Lastly, to my dearest friend, vodka. Where would I be without you? You've been with me through the best of times and the worst of times. The best nights that I've had have been spent passing a big bottle of you around with my closest friends and staying up until all hours of the morning talking about life. You make me feel extra special inside, so thank you for all that you've ever done for me.

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.

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.
