Netflix's "Love Is Blind": Pros And Cons

I recently started watching the Netlfix series "Love Is Blind" and I definitely have some mixed emotions about it.

Pro: Contestants can't see their date. 

In today's world, everyone is so caught up on looks and how big their butt is. In reality, none of that matters. Dating apps today are based off of pictures. Users don't really get that deep connection through dating apps. "Love Is Blind" takes a totally different approach. They don't allow contestants to see each other. They can only speak through a thin wall. Without judging their dates based off of appliance, they really dug deep onto a personal level.

Con: Contestants usually get engaged within one week.

I feel like contestant's fell so fast for one another. I don't blame them. If the person on the other side of the way constructs the perfect sentence, you fall in love instantly. Even though they are opening up, they're really talking to a stranger. They get engaged after like 3 conversations without ever meeting family or anything.

Pro: There is more emotion and opening up.

Since participant's dates can't see them, they aren't worried with how their hair looks or how their breath smells. This takes a lot of pressure off their shoulders and allows them to speak their mind.

Con: Contestants have no time to get to know each other before the wedding. 

After the engagement, couples head to a luxurious resort... for about 2-3 weeks. Then they get married! Everything happens so quickly and feel like they need more time, especially in the real world. For instance, they have no idea if their partner throws dirty clothes on the bedroom floor. They don't know if they do dishes. They don't know anything about them and how they act.

Overall, I like the idea of removing social biases of looks and appearance; however, I don't think people should be getting engaged after four days of just hearing their voices. I think in order to truly love someone and see if you want to spend the rest of your life with them, you need to get to know them. You need to get to know them spiritually, personally, physically, etc.

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.
