I'm not here to please you.

To the girls who don't like me,

I wish I could say that I care if you like me or not, but I don't. If there's anything I've learned in my first year of college, it's that not everyone is going to like me or what I do and that it's not my responsibility to please everyone. So this one is for all of you who dislike me.

First of all, this is my life to live. That being said, I never have any intention of purposely offending or hurting anyone with my actions or words. In a perfect world I would get along with all of you, but as we all know, life isn't perfect.

It takes a lot to get me to the point where I decided that we won't get along anymore or that we shouldn't be friends. It takes a lot for me to decide that I don't care if I offend you with what I say or do, but hey, there's a lot of you who have gotten me to that point. I'm a strong independent person and I'm not going to let you or anyone else for that matter walk all over me. I am allowed to form my own thoughts and act on them how I feel appropriate. You don't dictate what I say or do, only I can do that.

I don't care if you don't like me or what I do. If you don't like me or my actions, unfollow me, unfriend me, do whatever you need to do to remove me from your life. Don't pretend to be my friend and talk about me behind my back about what you don't like what I do, say or write. I will find out if you're talking about me behind my back. If you have a problem with me and how I handle my life, say it to my face or keep it to yourself. I don't need your approval to live my life.

I've learned that in order to be happy with myself and my life, I have to get rid off all the negative energy in my life. That negative energy includes all you girls who don't like me. Chances are you don't like me, and I don't like you, so stop talking about me, stalking my social media and trying to bring me down. I'm stronger than all of the negative comments you throw my way because I don't care about what you have to say.

I'm not saying that your opinion is irrelevant because you don't like me, maybe it's relevant to someone else, but it's not the least bit relevant to me. If it hurts your feelings that I don't care about what you think of me, once again, remove yourself from my social media and life.

I'm going to continue to live my life how I see fit whether you like it or not. I've got one life to live and I'm going to pursue every passion that I want to and if I happen to step on some over-sensitive toes on my journey through life, either toughen up, or move out of my way.

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.
