Crowdsourced Blogging Fall 2016 Edition

Crowdsourced Blogging Fall 2016 Edition

This week I have drawing a blank.

I have contemplated a few topics, tried to flesh out one in particular about female friendships.

I crowdsourced and asked my social media friends what I should write about, what they wanted to hear discussed….

The results….

“Breakfast Sandwiches without Egg”

“Fruit Loops but only the blue ones”

“No foam lattes”

“Collaborative writing with sister wives”

“Biscuit or roll?”

“Why is all clothing for fat people ugly?”

(among many other fantastic suggestions)

Because I am at a loss in this moment for words and because I think it will be amusing, I will be addressing these topics and questions.

“Breakfast Sandwiches without Egg”

Now, this topic is very near to my heart, because I adore breakfast sandwiches. It is one of the very few things that I can cook, and I pride myself on my ability to craft them fairly well. I would say that a breakfast sandwich without egg is like eating breakfast at 10:45 am. It can still mildly fit the definition, but it honestly becomes something different. As breakfast at 10:45am becomes brunch, I believe that that breakfast sandwiches without egg become simply sandwiches.

“Fruit Loops but only the blue ones”

I am not a Fruit Loop fan, but if that is what you are passionate about then rock on. I cannot judge because I am the person that thinks Lucky Charms and chocolate milk is a good idea.

“No foam lattes”

I truthfully had to look this up because I was unsure what it meant. To my understanding, it means that the barista making your drink makes a conscious effort to leave the little bit of foam that the steamed milk creates out of your beverage. Honestly, I do not have an opinion, because I am a coffee addict that judges not.

“Collaborative writing with sister wives”

Sister Wives is typically defined as the TLC show, but in my circle, it is defined as the female friend group that my mom is a part of. They are a group of ladies that love each other fiercely and have adopted each other as their own. They love their significant others but are not defined by them. They are loud and they are beautiful and I am proud to call them family.

“Biscuit or roll?”

Biscuit all the way, my friend. NEXT!

“Why is all clothing for fat people ugly?”

I despise the fact that unfortunately that often is the case. Women come in all shapes and sizes and to choose one body as the “ideal” not only is demeaning, but it means that designers often only dress for that body type. There are a few stores that understand the idea that fashion should extend to all size bodies, such as Torrid and Forever21. Unfortunately, these are the only stories that come to mind, because often the clothing that is designed to flatter the bodies of women of all sizes are often private owned and operated lines. The fashion industry has a long way to go before they are accurately reflecting and crafting for the women in society.

And that, my friend, concludes our first ever crowdsourced blog post. Much thanks and love to G., D., S., and J. for their topic help and providing much laughter.

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.
