Cupids Done Playing Games with Our Generation

Cupid isn’t shooting arrows anymore, he’s swinging bats.

Cupids Done Playing Games with Our Generation

Arrows aren’t enough anymore. We’re all so scared of falling for someone and being open with another human being that we’re destroying the first notions of love that attack our minds. Wait, even in that sentence there: “love attacking our minds”. We've turned the thought of love into a virus or a sickness to avoid. We have become experts at dispersing any thoughts of honest affection and any happy ending in our heads. And then mastered the art of replacing them all with notions of lust and manipulation for favors.

So now it seems like he’s done with the weak doses arrows deliver.

My boy pulled out the big guns, and he’s now swinging a bat.

If you go to sleep and you simply have dreams of talking to said person, you’ve been hit with the bat. If you find yourself trying to time out your text responses, you’ve been hit with the bat. If you find yourself laughing at something that isn’t really that funny when you’re around them, you’ve been hit with the bat. If they joke about killing them and your heart skips a beat: bat.

From crushes to love, it’s an entirely different ball game with this generation and our experiences.

So now cupid ain’t takin' no prisoners! He’s created a new kind of itch, a love scratch that you can’t avoid if you’ve been hit. One that you find yourself annoyingly itching subconsciously. So what do we do about it?

Hell if I know! Stop resisting!

Look, I’m not sure how many times cupid is allowed to swing that bat, but that baby is restless as shit. So before your crush/budding love turns into an accidental obsession because you’re still trying to deny and avoid, why not take the risk and see what happens? At the very least your subconscious will stop poking you to think about said person, and if it doesn’t work out, you may learn something for the next time.

Trust me, I’m a millennial

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.
