They Give Kisses Instead Of Heartbreaks, And 5 Other Reasons I Keep Choosing Dogs Over Relationships

In This Article:

Okay so originally I was like yeah dogs are relatable, I would easily choose another puppy from the shelter over a man who could snap my heart in half. But then, I started thinking about how I would honestly choose basically any animal over starting a new relationship right now.

Why? I see it as more of, why not?

There's a reason all sane humans have their day completely changed when they come in contact with a little fluffer, even if it's half a mile away. Not to mention that I follow so many dog accounts, yet no hot guy IGs. Canceled!

1. Dogs can't talk, duh

Yeah so they bark, but they can't talk back. Am I the only one that's come up with an entire language for my dog? Like her certain barks, I'm all oh Sasha doesn't want to be in the shade anymore. I'm not crazy I swear.

2. The best cuddlers out there

First problem, not all guys like a good cuddle. Hell, I don't like it half the time. I need my space too man. But when it comes to dogs? All bets off. And no matter the dog, it somehow fits perfectly in your arms.

3. Shopping for them is so fun

I'd more likely need a leash to bring a guy shopping then to get my dog to follow me around the store. One of my favorite moments is throwing my pup her newest toy, or opening a new bag of dog treats.

4. You make tons of friends

There's not one dog that will pass me by where I don't want to drop everything I'm doing and pet him/her. I'm also so much more apt to start a conversation with someone who has a dog. Ya know, cause dog people are great people.

5. An instant happiness boost

When I come home, and my dog runs up to me all excited (even though it's been like, 15 minutes), my heart grows 10 sizes.

6. Endless love

Ever been attacked by licks and kisses and maintained a bad mood? Me either.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
