Yes, Netflix, I'm Still Here

I'm partly offended and (mostly hurt) that you even had to ask.

First of all, how dare you? I've spent my day working my butt off and look forward to the part of the night where I can relax and watch 15 episodes of Parks and Rec in a row before I fall asleep, and nothing frustrates me more than when I have to click a button to confirm that I'm still awake and watching.

I can't even begin to express how disappointed I am in you that you even feel the need to ask if I'm still here. Where else would I go? Do you think I would do something productive? Do you believe I would choose to do school work over re-watching a series I've already watched eight times? Do I seem like someone who has better things to do? Because I definitely do, but I chose you and you should be thankful.

I'm kind of hurt you would doubt how much I love you.

I would do anything to spend all day with you. There's nothing I'd rather do than watch the same four shows over and over again, and I seriously can't believe you'd doubt that. What's it going to take to convince you that you're my top priority? I wish I could do something to make you understand how much you mean to me, but you are an internet-based streaming service and you probably hear this from everyone else who also appreciates you.

What's the point in writing this out if I know you're not worried? Am I wasting my time trying to get you to notice how much I appreciate you? What's your deal? I know I should be doing other things and you're just asking if I'm still there so you know that I haven't left and you're not wasting your time and energy on an empty room. I know I've just been going on about how much I dislike that you doubt me, but I need to get my point across.

Yes, I'm still here.

Yes, I'm still watching the same show I've been watching for weeks, if not months.

No, I haven't left to do something else, and yes, I will stay here for a while (until I've fallen asleep and you're trapped on a paused screen until I wake up at 3 a.m. to get a drink).

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.
