Don't Sit Too Close To The TV

Actually, try it and see what happens

You know what I've realized?

As if my mom saying it fifteen times isn't enough...

I watch a lot of TV. Almost too much.


And it's not like I'm sitting in front of the tv waiting for different shows to come on every day. Like most people, I don't have the time to watch any show live. So I watch it on DVR's and Rokus like the the way you're supposed to.

But, I'm starting to think that maybe I should cut back on them.


I know everyone has those shows that they love, the show that they would watch eighteen times over if you let them...mine usually being FRIENDS or Bob's Burgers. Pretty Little Liars also comes into mind (back when that show was ruining the lives of everyone that watched it).

My list runs on and on.


And because I am a person that likes to make sure all of my t's are crossed and my i's are dotted, I make sure to document all of this. Meaning every single show that's currently in its new season has a spot on my phone corresponding to what day and time it comes on just to make sure I don't somehow miss it.

Yes, it is quite that serious.


It's not that I even want to make sure that I'm available to watch it at that specific time- because I can guarantee you that that isn't going to happen. It's just basically there so I can have it as a guide to look at the next day when I can finally carve out an hour of my day to catch up on Grey's Anatomy (I've invested 14 seasons into this show, and I don't intend to stop now).


So, I hope you can relate to this. I hope you relate to the fact that as long as you have a job or are in school or if you just have a way to stay busy, go ahead and come to terms with the fact that you won't be able to catch up on your shows like you want to. But, you'll get there.

I believe in you. And me too.

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.
