Straightforward and proud

Straightforward and proud

People may think you're mean but really you just tell it like it is. There's nothing wrong with being blunt. You know and I know that your intentions are good. You just don't see a point in sugar coating every detail of life. Confrontation is fun. You get a kick out of being able to confront someone and watch their jaw drop because they never thought you would bring ~it~ up.

You speak your mind with no filter. You won't pretend and tell your friend, "the dress looks great on you." Instead you'll look her in the eye and say, "Honey, that dress makes you look like a loufa, NEXT." Isn't it more important to be honest and straight forward than lying and saying, "It looks nice, it'll be great for formal." No, it won't, it's hideous and you know it. The king of being blunt is none other than Ron Swanson. He tells it like it is and is content following his passions and opinions.

1. You can't deny this





2. Have you ever walked into Whole Foods? I rest my case.




3. Saying "No thanks" would imply you like salads.


4. You don't need anyone telling you what to do. You're a go-getter. If you want a party platter so be it.


5. This doesn't even require an explanation.



6. Annoying friend: "Johnny won't text me back"
**Text back 4 seconds later**
~They are immediately excited from a text~
Tell it like it is, Ron.



7. When you bail on plans, you don't make an excuse. You're straightforward about it. Nice.

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.
