My Love-Hate Relationship With The Gym

Do you even lift?

My Love-Hate Relationship With The Gym

Dear Gym,

 

God, I hate you so much—but I know you only want the best for me. I’m sorry I randomly abandon you. I don’t blame you for having trust issues. It’s not that I don’t appreciate you; I just get too lazy to go over to you. I know if I want a toned stomach and toned legs, you’re the only one who can help. For that, thank you for never giving up on me.

I’ve been good to you pretty much all summer, but I can’t promise I’ll show you the same love once winter rolls around. You see, the cold weather and snow make me even lazier (and we all know how lazy I already am). But, I’ll try my best to visit you as much as I can.

If there is one thing I love about you, it’s the way you smell. There’s something about that new leather smell as soon as I walk through the doors that makes me keep on going. Not to mention, the refreshed feeling I get as soon as I’m done working out. It’s as if you know exactly what I like.

But that still doesn’t take away the fact that I hate it. We really need to get some things straightened out. No matter how great you may smell or make me feel once I’m done working out, the actual act of riding the stationary bike or running on the treadmill isn’t quite working for me. I don’t know about anyone else, but it’s not fun. I’m sorry. I know I have to suck it up; I just thought I’d let you know how I really felt.

So, I guess I’ll see you again in a couple weeks.

 

Sincerely,

 

Your worst and best friend.

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.
