Your Choices Are Your Own
USA Jokes

We live in a very judgmental world. It doesn’t matter if a person is trying to do the right thing in a situation, everyone has something negative to say.

But who cares what you do, right?

You’re supposed to live your life how you want it -- so one day you can look back at your choices and say, “Heck yeah I did that!” Perfect Example: First Transformers movie Shia LaBeouf looks at Megan Fox and says, “Fifty years from now, when you’re looking back at your life, don't you want to say that you had the guts to get in the car?” Makes you think a little right? I probably use this line 10 times a day when making choices.

There is no reason in the world that the choices you make in life have to be justified either. You don't owe the world anything. If you don't pay my bills, if you don't support the roof over my head or the food on the table, and if you haven’t put a ring on my finger, I don't have to tell you the reasons why I did something just to get your approval. Of course, there are close friends and family members that you could reason with. However, if you haven’t talked to me in 2 years and all of a sudden you want to state your opinion, don't be surprised when I ignore you.

I guess what I’m really trying to say is: Live your life how you want to. Get married at 20, spend $1000 on your 12-year-old dog trying to save her life because she has saved yours, work more than you go to college. You make the choices that you believe that would best benefit your life. Your opinion is the only one that matters. No one else’s. Get in the car and drive

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.
