Goals or Infatuations?

Remember when goals actually used to be something important? Yeah, me neither.

Goals or Infatuations?
Instagram

From birth, we’ve created goals to accomplish. For example, attending college and graduating, receiving free Chick-fil-A sandwiches for life, or traveling the world until you pass out. Usually, in the process of making goals, the aspiration is carefully thought out. However, currently, the distinction of recognizing goals in society has been misunderstood and getting out of control. Here are a few popular #goals that need to #end.

I understand until the world ends we will continue to fight for who has the award-winning best friend relationship. Unfortunately, this cannot be simply fulfilled with a cute caption and 5 hashtags. #BestfriendGoals pictures like the one above can attest that we just focus on proving our successes rather than enjoying them since cutting people off is more popular than keeping essential friendships.

Although I’m not in a relationship, I can recognize that relationships are sacred and significant. As a single person, I don’t believe a picture of throwing a pie in each other’s faces displays true love and affection. I am not denouncing occasionally posting pictures of your girlfriend/boyfriend but showing you have matching shirts, socks, and necklaces does not show loyalty or respect.

Applying this concept to celebrities can be explained as labeling Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith future relationship goals. In a June 2015 interview with Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show, Jada loosely confirmed that she and Will are in an open marriage. Being in an open marriage means both partners can engage in outside sexual activity without being regarded as infidelity. Aside from this explanation, people still praise their relationship as a targeted ambition.

Looking at other #goals posts, people have made their goals into infatuations and now have made different categories for them. In the future, if you decide to let your followers know what your goals first establish if this dream is noteworthy.

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.
