Blaming Others For Our Downfalls

Thinking about how society fails us when we're the culprits committing the crime, day in and day out.

People blame "society" for what’s wrong in this world. People don’t get that this "society," is us.

And it’s a bust they say as they throw a wrapper out of the window of the bus, but for what? For the next person to complain and not do a thing as they see a man get hit in the gut, but why?

Rich people don’t try, all woman do is cry, global warming … that’s a lie. No, that’s a fact.

It’s funny watching people react to the acts of this society when all they are, is their stuck and their trapped. Except their trapped into reality, by nothing but the gravity, and in the end all you really need is clarity …

But what about the charity man …

Oh wait ... it’s too late. It’s too late to recreate the life of a great that could have been saved at an earlier date. But you thought a mate would have done it as you throw out the scraps on your dinner plate.

And that’s what’s wrong with this world.

Everyday it throws us whirls and twirls but still our main concern is how to do our hair for the party later, straight or curled? It makes me hurl.

And there are these creatures that are all about the riches. And there are these bitches and snitches that do deserve stitches because they don’t work for anything, they just look for the glitches, the glitches in life.

They take away the rights of the people that shoot for the shining light, the stars. They go above and beyond, they work way too hard to always be shootin below par.

They work way too hard to not raise the bar, because the bar … stays at the same place.

It’s a disgrace in life you can lose this race to the top, by some turtle who’s got no ambition and last night’s dinner still all over his face.

The whole world’s the same, if they don’t know your name you end up losing this game. And instead of being it, you’re stuck watching the fame. It’s so insane. And It’s a shame, to live in a world like this where ignorance is bliss and where commitments are okay to miss …

Because there is an excuse.

All excuses get abused, reused, and all they do is light a fuse, a fuse that controls one thing and that’s your mind.

It doesn’t have to do with the world sometimes, it’s what’s wrong with your mind, you’re giving yourself too much rest time to unwind.

And in that time you end up thinking you’re not fine, but you are. You could have it much worse, look at the deaf and the blind. Or even both, so don’t mope.

Go out and help somebody, give them hope.

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.
