What's Going On?

A bit on hookups

What's Going On?
rush hour

This summer I have met new people online also while walking alone, Being the girl that I am, I end up exchanging numbers with them of course we both agree in exchanging numbers. Yet, sometimes I forget to text these potential friends because I am busy or sometimes I just feel like I have nothing to say.

I mean a girl can only do so much when you get asked " what are you doing?" every few hours during the week. Like it is summer and all I am doing is sleeping, EATING, and catching up on my shows and do you really find that interesting? probably not. In all honesty, I just want to text I am being a slob, do not judge me. And no I am not always a boring person but hey if all you do is text me "what are you doing?" or "are you home?" chances are if I text you I will take my sweet time. I will tell you I am busy when you ask me if I am home because well I did just meet you and no you are not welcome in my house. I do not know what you want, okay I do and boy bye. But then again I am not really sure like can you just be straight up and tell me. Come on I do not like playing mind games.

Like I get it, we are living in this hookup culture so relationships are not really being taken seriously but just because I agreed and gave you my number does not mean I am being part of the hook-up culture. I personally give my number out to people if they ask for it because I want to meet new people. I am interested in learning from people and going on adventures and if we end up liking each other well why not but it does suck when the other person is not telling you what is going on in their head.

So, before you have people waste their time or before you waste yours just be straightforward and let people know what you are looking for. I guarantee you, it is a lot easier for the both of you.

And if you happen to be an individual that is looking for a friends with benefits relationship, well communicate that as soon as possible with the person you are talking too. Do agree on terms, protect yourself, and if you need to do get tested for STDs. Most importantly, always remember that both if you need to agree on things.

Also, if you do not know what you are looking for make it clear cause no one likes to waste their time or likes to wonder what the hell is happening between y'all. Anyway stay safe.

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.
