If you haven't seen Netflix's original "Set It Up" yet, stop what you're doing and go turn it on. It's the new classic rom-com everyone has been waiting for. In Becca's toast to her fiancé, she explains that she likes him because of all of his good qualities, yet she loves him despite all of his bad ones.

You can't love someone based on their good. A person is filled full of good and bad but you have to love both sides of them or it's not love. This is a philosophy we should all think about and evaluate whether it is for your significant other, your pet, your best friend, your siblings, your parents, anyone you care about.

You don't love someone because they have a nice body, you love them despite them going to the gym more than going to dinner with you. Here are a few of my I like you because I love you despite's for different people (and pets) to help encourage you to think of your own.

I like you because I can never be sad around you. I love you despite you never put the toilet seat down.

I like you because you're cute and cuddly. I love you despite you beg for my food.

I like you because you inspire me to do better. I love you despite you work too much. 

I like you because you're beautiful in every way. I love you despite you live too far away. 

I like you because you're my mini me. I love you despite you won't talk to me on the phone. 

I like you because you're always there for me. I love you despite your competitiveness. 

I like you because you make me laugh. I love you despite you get grumpy a lot. 

I like you because we have the best food dates. I love you despite you talk too much sometimes. 

I like you because you've never let me fall. I love you despite you tell me people are "dying to get in" the cemetery every time we pass one. 

I like you because you have the prettiest smile. I love you despite the fact you have road rage.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
