I see many people judging individuals based on the choices that they have made in their lives. Is it right to judge someone for a choice that will make them happy? I see it in my life everyday in all aspects of it. The point is that it's unfair to judge somebody for something that does not apply to the person making judgements. How would you feel if someone told you how to live your life? Judging someone is basically the same thing as telling them that their choices in life will get them nowhere. Nobody has a right to judge anyone unless they have walked in that person's shoes.

I have seen many individuals judge others based on their sexuality. A person is a person no matter who they are attracted to. If a man likes another man or woman likes another woman then that should be allowed. Allow people to be attracted to whoever they want. The reason many judge homosexuals is because many have not walked in the shoes of someone who has those feelings. What if someone said you couldn't love a person that made you happy? How would you feel? I'm not a homosexual. I don't feel what a homosexual male feels towards another man, but just because I don't feel that way doesn't mean I should make people with those feelings feel bad for their life choices.

Another thing I see is people judging others based off appearance. Just because a girl or guy is a little overweight doesn't mean they should be completely overlooked. Looks are not everything. Just because someone might not look like a supermodel does not mean they are ugly. A good heart and good personality lasts a lifetime, looks go away in a few years. I'm a decent looking guy. I'm in alright shape for my age and weight, but I don't judge others appearances. I don't judge appearances because I know there are things that certain people have that I don't.

I'm currently in college, I see a daily occurrence of students being judged for the things they are choosing to study. Judged on the fact that they won't find a job or make a lot of money. Why should someone be judged on a field of study that makes him or her happy. Money does not equal happiness. Would you rather have a job that paid six figures, but everyday you are miserable? Would you rather have a job that paid enough, but everyday you are happy as can be? I don't judge people in this category, but this is a category that I am judged on a lot. I am majoring in Outdoor Leadership. I constantly get judged for majoring in this field of study. I don't understand why people judge my career choice, because they don't understand the passion I have for the outdoors.

Don't judge others for the things that make them happy. Don't allows others to judge you for the things that make you happy.

It's your life and you only live once.

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.
