Love Your Pet

Love your pets because they love you.

Love Your Pet
Kaitlin Korgeski

If you have ever had a pet whom you called your best friend and treated like family, then you can relate to this.

Pets are supposed to be there to help and protect their families. They are supposed to bring joy and happiness to those around them. Which is why, in return, we must take care of our pets as well. Without our pets, we would be completely lost. They love to see us come home after being gone for hours and gives us lots of hugs and kisses. They love to spend quality time with us because it is the best part of their day.

We have a lot to thank our pets for. Whether it be a dog a cat, a bird, a ferret, etc. They are always there for us and make us laugh when we are sad. They live life simply and do not over-think crazy situations. They are perfectly content with a treat and some loving hugs by you.

There are many wonderful pets out there, but after having your own personal experience, I am sure we all say we will never find another pet as good as the one we had. Of course, you will never be able to replace a loved pet.

We have so many fond memories that we should be grateful for. At first, it is difficult to talk about the memories. But eventually, as you tell the stories, you will just laugh and laugh, with maybe only happy tears instead of sad tears. You will smile knowing they had a good life and that you will see them again one day.

You will feel empty without them. Suddenly your daily life turned from this to that in a split second. It is a weird feeling, I know. I do not think we ever completely get over it, either. Still, in our hearts, we search for that pet. We search to hear them, to feel them and to smell them.

Enjoy every single minute you have with your pet. Treat them right, because they depend on us and deserve the very best on Earth. Create memories with them so you have stories to tell. Take pictures with them and put them in a scrapbook. Buy them a box of treats and toys to spoil them. Most importantly, love them. Love them because they love you.

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.
