Bad-Mouth Your Ex To Make Yourself Look Better? Trust Me, THAT'S A Bad Look

I'm too smart, too funny, and too above you to be called "hoe" or "bitch" or "crazy."

Bad-Mouth Your Ex To Make Yourself Look Better? Trust Me, THAT'S A Bad Look

The way I see it, freshly-broken-up-with men only have a few words in their vocabulary.

"We broke up because she's a hoe."

"She's such a bitch."

"I can't believe I dated a slut."

"Oh, dude, she just started acting crazy."

How was I being a "hoe" or a "slut" if I was in a relationship with you? Just because I didn't want to share my body with someone who fat-shamed me for eating avocados, I'm a "hoe"? Because I chose to trust you before giving a piece of myself to you, you will define me as the exact opposite of myself?

At this point, no one asks any further questions when he says, "she was a hoe." I guess this generic one-liner is universal for, "She was too good for me, and I'm too hurt to tell you more about why she broke up with me."

My favorite insult has to be "crazy." I'll be the first to admit, I can find an unknown individual on social media within the minute, but honestly, I consider it a talent. Let me ask you, why am I crazy for asking questions I should be able to ask my significant other? Why am I crazy for being upset with you when there is truly something to be upset about?

The word "crazy" gets thrown around so much that I can't help but wonder if it actually means that "I don't have an answer for what you're asking so I'm just gonna go ahead and call you a psychopath." I know sometimes I've asked excessive questions, or picked fights over trivial things, but it was because I wanted to know more about you, to see you. I guess that today if girls make a real effort it's because we're "crazy."

So what, if I can find the girl whose name you just dropped, in under a minute? So what, if I barked at you for picking me up late for prom, making me miss all of the pre-prom photos? I might be crazy, but I'm too smart, too funny, and too above you to be called "hoe" or "bitch" or "crazy."

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.
