Why I Hate Writing
essaybox.org

I hate writing. I hate doing it, I hate thinking about doing it, I hate showing anyone what I write.

Why?

I started doing an article for Odyssey every week because I thought it would be fun, which it was, for the first couple times. Then I realized I had nothing interesting to say or share and then it got hard. I spend hours trying to think up of something just barely useful and hating it. I willingly let myself plaster my name under some internet crap and I don't know why. Actually, I kind of do. Because I have nothing to say. Literally, nothing.

Politics? I hate seeing and hearing it wherever I go and I hate being stuck with absolute shit for the next four years. That's one of the biggest things going on in the world and that's all I have to say for it. I'm tired of seeing every single post about this damn election, and I know I'm not the only one.

I want to be able to contribute something meaningful and important, both of which I'm not familiar with. You're probably wondering "Meghan, if you hate writing so much, why do you keep doing it?" Well, hate to burst your bubble of questions with: I still don't know.

It's mostly a range of "I'm on the internet for doing something and that's cool," or "this will make me look better as a student," and especially "I have the chance to be able to write about anything I please and have everyone see it, why should I let that go?" That's the worst one, because that's exactly the reason I'm so mad. Having this chance of getting your words out there also comes with complete realization that you know nothing useful. I know some facts and dates; I could tell you about some philosophers, and random bits in between, but who wants to hear that?

I didn't even want to write this because people will probably think it's stupid or I'm crazy. "Girl Writes About How Much She Hates To Write." Yeah, that's smart.

The one thing I have to admit though, is that writing all of this felt amazing. I've been so sick of trying to find something at least kind of interesting enough to submit, and it's either that or my thoughts and feelings, but once again, who wants to hear that? I don't even want to hear that stuff.

So, this is probably the only time I'll ever "vent" or say what I actually think, besides why big boobs make my life hell. That one will always be from the heart.

Hopefully I'll find something better to write about next time.

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.
