I Know It's Not Christmas But I'm Still The Grinch

If you're a really nice person and you're reading this, no offense to you, but you scare me.

Humanity cannot seem to impress me, and I think it’s just abnormal. I’m not talking about events going on in the world today, like our dreaded president or his annoying family (Because those are incredibly disappointing on their own).

The world is filled with people who are so nice, overly content, diabetes. It sucks because I’m not diabetes, I’m like the Grinch. Being the Grinch can suck because it’s the littlest things these people do that annoy you. Some people are so uplifting, it's weird.

I swear people aren't really like that.

The overly positive are just annoying, here I am in my muddy hole, I don't need your positivity while I'm sinking. Try again later when I need air.

There's a girl at school who's so nice to everyone and is always smiling, everyone knows her as "the nicest girl ever" and I can't help but think it's fake.

But it's not her fault that she's nice, it's me. I can't bypass it and I find it annoying. I'm pretty sure I get it from my mother, she's not the nicest- but at least she's pretty. The both of us feel like people who are too nice always have something to hide.

I guess that's just our way of being street smart.

Even movies teach you that really nice people are those you should look out for, for example:

"Misery"

"Zootopia"

"Pride and Prejudice"

"The Visit"

"Mean Girls"

"Cyber Bully"

Another scenario, this girl had her cell phone out in class and there was a strict “no cell phone” rule. So, I didn’t have mine out.

I’m not jealous because the lecture was great

An incident happened during the class where the teacher had to ask an unknown dude to leave the classroom (That story is for another time) and the next thing I notice, she’s texting her group chat of friends what happened, and it was a whole paragraph.

It started like this:

“So, there was an intruder…”

Why couldn’t she just wait until after class? Impatient, your friends can wait. I know I can just easily avert my eyes but now, I’m annoyed and distracted.

Great.

Then the professor asks about a specific question that he couldn’t recall the answer to and neither could the other students.

And she looked it up, raised her hand and said the answer. She was given an unfair advantage with that phone, I couldn’t even look it up. She looked so happy too, like diabetes.

She even smiled at me, as if I didn't just see her look up the answer.

So smug. Ew.

Instances like these make me think really nice people are just fake, like they have a hidden agenda of some sort.

If you're a really nice person and you're reading this, no offense to you, but you scare me.

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.
