An Open Letter To All Of The Random Guys That Message Me On Facebook
Sure Point Spy

I don't know if any other girl has gone through this, but there are periods of time when I log on the Facebook every few hours and have 15 new friend requests from guys that I've never met. I don't really understand why this happens, but I know its because for some reason Facebook is recommending me to everyone, and so they just add me. I don't accept everyone, but if we have a substantial amount of mutual friends, then I don't have a problem confirming them as a "friend."

What I do have a problem with, however, is when they message me on Facebook as soon as I accept them. And a very large majority of them do this, so what I'm saying is extremely valid and my frustration is real.

Here's the thing: just because I confirm you as a friend on Facebook, does not mean that I am interested in you or interested in having a conversation. But here's the other thing: I'm an extremely nice person and I feel guilty reading your message and not responding. I'm a people pleaser and I don't want you to feel bad about it.

Now if I actually do find you extremely attractive, I have no problem having a conversation with you. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

The worst part is when people message me multiple times when I don't respond. That is no way it win me over, so please just stop.

It is very nice if you to want to add me because you think I'm pretty or something, and it is also very nice of you to want to message me and compliment me. This isn't what I'm talking about, though. Because trust me, compliments are always appreciated and accepted from anyone.

It is those of you that just message me 'hey' as soon as I add you. That is such a boring conversation starter and I have no interest in responding to that.

So, to you fellas, for the sake of my sanity, just stop. Especially if I do not know you, it is creepy if you're a 27 year old (or older) with some kids and a scruffy beard messaging a 20 year old girl. Sorry, but I'm just not interested in talking.

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.
