Why Having A Dog is Better Than Having A Boyfriend

Let's be real, having a dog is way better than having a boyfriend. Boyfriends come and go but dogs, they will love you for life. Here are some reasons why I'd choose a dog over a human any day.


1. Unconditional Love

No matter what, your dog is going to love you. Boyfriends, on the other hand, are a lot of work. Sometimes you are hard to love, but not to your dog.



2. Always excited to see you

Whether you've been gone 5 minutes or 5 hours, your dog will always be genuinely happy and excited to see you. Don't expect that from people.



3. No judgement

Your dog sees you being your true self and doing all the weird little things you do and still doesn't judge you. No matter how hard people try not to judge, they just can't reach the same level as your dog because people can never be completely free of judgment.



4. Always gives you kisses

Yeah, they may be wet and slobbery, but did you know that dogs' saliva has healing properties? If you have a booboo they can literally lick it better. Don't expect that from a boyfriend.



5. Always there for you

Your boyfriend isn't always going to be able to be there for you, but your dog can be! Your dog is never too busy for you because you are their world.



6. Always have a cuddle buddy

Whenever you want to cuddle your dog is there and always down.



7. Extremely forgiving

When you mess up and accidentally step on your dog's toes and hurt them, all it takes is an apology and maybe a scratch behind their ears for them to forgive you. You don't ever have to worry about them bring it up again or holding it against you because they are over it. People just aren't that cool.


8. Completely loyal

Your dog is never gonna cheat on you, but your boyfriend might. You know you have their complete and totally loyalty which eliminates a lot of worries. Plus they are great at keeping secrets.


9. Free hugs

Whenever you need a hug your dog is there for you. Your boyfriend might get mad at you or not being in a hugging mood, but your dog is always down for hugs.


10. Infinite capacity for love

Your dog is so full of love 24/7 that you never need to worry about them not liking you or wanting some space. People, on the other hand, are not so loving at all times of the day and sometimes need their space, but who cares, you don't need people when you've got a dog.

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.
