I started thinking about music, and about my favorite songs. These are the songs that I can be found playing on repeat when I'm in my car, sitting in my room, or just thinking. So, from Pink Floyd to Coldplay (specifically, the most underrated Coldplay song in the universe) this is the soundtrack of my life.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
