It Was Never My Intention

Oldest Excuse in the Book

Thoughtless behavior is spared by the favor of the oldest excuse in the book

It still doesn’t stop us from using or falsely accusing the ones we forsook

It was never my intention to hurt you, I wish we could just get along

but before we part ways and say everything’s okay guess my intentions for writing this song

It was never my intention to give you a black eye, I just swung and didn’t miss

It was never my intention to get drunk and high then crawl into your bed a piss

It was never my intention to tell you my intentions so really I’m bullshitting you

So just say it’s okay, and we'll go our separate ways until I do a thing I didn’t intend to

I never meant to offend, didn’t plan or intend did you think that was really enough

That’s the thing you don’t think, if you did then I wouldn’t be sitting here calling your bluff

No more apologies please, not my faults, there’s no room for any alternative facts Just go and sit in time out, take a look at yourself then maybe you’ll clean up your act

It was never my intention to go drinking and driving and kill a pedestrian

Or disinvite you from my party, it was all girls I’m really sorry but I thought you were lesbian

It was never my intention to make you mad but now I’m just trying to please you

So just say it’s okay, and we'll go our separate ways until I do a thing I didn’t intend to

On trial for murder, you say that you warned 'em, it was never your intention to shoot, but deep down you realize that he was twice your size and that you’re probably racist too….give it up the intentions were true.

It was never my intention stole your banking information, I kind of just figured it out

It was never my intention to speed up and catch my exit and cut you off in the round about

It was never my intention to find out my real intentions but I think I can fool you

So just say it’s okay and we’ll go our separate ways until I do a thing I didn’t intend to

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.
