What's so wrong with letting people be happy?

I love seeing people happy. Whether they are happy in their relationships, just had a baby, announced they're pregnant, or just secured a new job, I love seeing it.

What I do not love seeing, is the constant negativity surrounding these things, especially on social media. I'd like to think that maybe it's something that only i'm seeing, but it's not. People are constantly negative about other peoples happiness.

If someone gets pregnant, there's automatically 100 indirect statuses about it saying they're, "too young" or "why would they want to have a baby right now?"

If someone gets engaged or married, "they haven't known each other long enough" or, "that's gonna end in divorce."

If someone is posting how thankful they are of their significant other on social media, "do they really need to write paragraphs about each other every week?" or, "I bet they're really unhappy in person."

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but do you really need to form such a negative opinion about something that's nothing to do with you? Do you really need to form such a negative opinion about what is supposed to be such a happy time? Posting how you would never have a baby this young, or how you would never gloat about your new job, or how you would never get engaged this young; makes you look like an unhappy, sh*tty person.

I've been seeing it for years, however I only really noticed it until I stepped away from the negativity and started to be happy for other people. There's nothing wrong with having a baby when you chose to have a baby, there is nothing wrong with getting engaged or married when you feel like you're ready for it, there is nothing wrong with celebrating your relationship online, there's nothing wrong with being proud of your new job. So why are people so negative about it?

If they're happy about whats going on in their life, let them be. Being unnecessarily negative about other peoples lives says more about you than them. Are you that unhappy with your own life that you can't be glad when others are happy?

Everyone is entitled to happiness, when you constantly stop thinking negative of others you will be surprised about how happy you become. If you think positive about other people, you will start thinking positive about yourself.

Just let people be f***ing happy.

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.
