I don't think I have ever been so discouraged to log on social media until now. Seriously I log on and it's the same tea,same waist trainer, same teeth whiter. What happen to originality? Not only is the originality gone but people have really forgotten that everyone is suppose to be equal. I don't understand how you steal land and claim you found it. I also don't understand how America can be great again when there was nothing great about it in the first place. All these things and people need to be left in 2016.

I CAN'T deal with Instagram Models- Hunny, I know you gotta make a living so pay your bills, but lord I'm tired of looking at the tea packet so I know you have to be tired of drinking it. I'm tired of the fake, half dressed boutique models wearing clothes that only come in size plastic surgery. I can't with the fake, where is the real?

I CAN'T with the doctor Miami Bodies- I get it, it's a well-made body BUT everyone doesn't have to look like that. I do believe self-esteem plays a huge role which is why we need to remind every woman she is beautiful. Every shape and size are unique and you don't need that now basic hourglass figure. I've got to the point now I don't want to look like that but just be healthy. What happen to lose weight and being healthy about it? There is so much gained mentally when you actually work to lose the weight than just get it sucked out. I'm not bashing the women who go to Dr. Miami but instead hoping to inspire women not to be threatened by the now big-headed women that did. Love yourself girl!

I CAN'T with the 'twerking for the gram' crap- You don't have to be shaking it for everyone to see in order to be valued. So many videos and clips of women lowering themselves to the standards for likes. I can't understand why. I CAN'T!

I CAN'T with the party promoters- Unslide yourself out my dm's I don't care about the hottest party of the year. Please stop posting the line wrapped outside the club when it's all a lie. You know good and well that line is the people waiting to get in because you refuse to open the doors. Why you advertise for "free before 10" but don't open the doors until 9:55? Please miss me with that! I CAN'T

I CAN'T with the Media and how they show BlackLivesMatter- News flash you can't fix senseless killing with senseless killing. I support Black lives on the side of building better communities and stopping racial injustice. The media as always take the bad and blow it up. y'all air .5 percent of the story and give it to the world full of people who think their skin color is a privilege especially to all other countries.

I CANT with the POLICE BRUTALITY- and the people trying to justify it. A lot of people aren't gonna like this but people who don't feel anything towards the hundreds of dying in police hands are sick. People of all races are dying and you literally are saying BUT. Seriously? Really? It's really gonna have to come down to them losing someone to police brutality for it to be a problem in their eyes. This is beyond sad. More people will have to die because they don't see the harm to them. I WILL NOT AND CANNOT!

These are my I CAN'T moments and experiences of 2016. I'm sure some of you can relate so feel free to comment down below with your moments. Let's all vent together.

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.
