Alexis Ren and Jay Alvarrez have over six million followers on Instagram alone. They are, by far, one of the most popular couples online. The hashtags written above are all actual comments that people have posted numerous times on each of their Instagrams pictures.

Meet Jay and Alexis. Oh… and did I mention they were beautiful?

This picture above is an accurate representation and highlight of the hundreds of pictures they post online.

Personally, I am so beyond tired of seeing “#relationshipgoals” and “#GOALS!!!” under all of their pictures. They’re modeling, travels, and adventuring to exotic places makes them seem like they must have it all. Here’s the thing people DO NOT understand; their life looks perfect by the pictures they choose to post, but remember…a large portion of Instagram users only post the highlights of their life and not the hardships they face. These two people do not have perfect lives because nobody does.

Please also remember that Alexis and Jay are one in a million. These pictures are not an accurate representation of a typical lifestyle and certainly are not an accurate representation of a relationship. These two people should not be idolized because it is absolutely pointless to do so. How can people say this relationship is #GOALS when it is solely based on wealth and appearance? There are numerous pictures of Jay sexualizing Alexis, which is completely fine to do in the privacy of their relationship, but should not be a way to show off how “perfect” your girl is, as if you are some kind of God.

Here’s my issue with the image they are creating for viewers: on the Internet, it is incredibly easy to take everything in your life and make it look a million times happier, cooler, better, etc. People are now watching their videos and looking at their pictures and feeling so beyond insecure about their own lives. I am absolutely guilty of doing this with celebrities and other famous couples on the Internet, but I am trying to take my own advice here. STOP comparing your life and relationship to other people’s lives and relationships. I truly believe once you stop comparing yourself, you will happier.

Another thing that blows my mind is that Alexis and Jay, who are 18 and 20 years old, do not go to school, yet they somehow have all of this money. This money comes from the many followers, viewers, and fans that sit down on a computer or smart phone and look at this insane life these two live. People are feeding the couple thousands and millions of dollars just by wishing they were them. Does this make sense? Is that fair? Seriously… it is more than okay to be 18 years old and going to school, having a job, and living a normal life. If you’re sitting around looking at others live this extravagant life, I hate to say it, but you will never be able to live that extravagant life. Everyone wants fame and fortune, but you aren’t going to reach that point by comparing your current life to an unrealistic life that two young adults live in. Stop asking yourself, “Why can’t I have all that money?” “Why won’t my boyfriend drive me around in a Lamborghini?” "Why can't I go skydiving all over the world?"…

I’ll admit, their content is creatively genius, but it is not real. This couple is NOT #realrelationshipgoals.

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.
