I'm Not In a Cult, I'm A Multi-Level Marketing Consultant
123RF Group

Oh, hello there, I'm glad you could make it. I almost didn't see you come in. You see, my 4d Fibrosis Mascara has bestowed me with many gifts -- one of which is long, luscious eyelashes that give me such incredible length that they occasionally obscure my vision. You can receive these gifts as well and all we ask in return is that you pledge your loyalty to our Unique Cosmetics family. This is not a cult, I'm just here to sell mascara.

Please come in. Take a seat in the circle of ladies gathered here in my living room tonight. We're throwing a party today, a celebration if you will. Tonight, we celebrate not only the wonderful mascara that the company has created for all of us to enjoy, but also the bond I share with each of you ladies that transcends the Facebook invitation that you all were hesitantly guilted into accepting. I want to take our bonds to the next level. I want you to join the Unique Cosmetics family, and feel the love and support we share with our sisters. This is not a cult.

Red or white? Perhaps you'd prefer a nice Moscato blush instead? Please, don't hesitate, help yourself. There's no reason to be shy, especially not when you are among sisters. I have gathered all you ladies here because as I said earlier, you all share a common thread. Yes, the desire for long, thick eyelashes, but I can also sense a desire for independence in all of you. A longing, a hunger, a desperation for an escape from the monotony of your day-to-day life. You know you can't work traditional hours -- you are students, mothers. Today, I offer you that freedom, the freedom to work your own hours, make your own money and shed the bondage of wage slavery. All we ask in return is a financial investment and a pledge of your loyalty to the sisterhood. This is not a cult.

You see, "Unique" is so much more than a multi-level marketing opportunity. We're a family. We change lives through the power of overpriced cosmetics. You can do whatever you want -- you can host parties, recruit friends, use guilt to coerce your family and Facebook acquaintances to buy things they don't need. But one thing that you will never do is go against "the family." The outside world does not understand "the family" and they will never understand the bond that we share as sisters of the mascara. They call us terrible, horrible names. We are not a pyramid scheme. We are not a cult. We're a family of independent sisters who are changing the world. Soon, every woman on the planet will know our message and the glory of Unique 4d Fibrosis Mascara. This is not a cult.

As I extend my hand to you, I beg you to consider the financial and emotional benefits to joining our family. You will be bestowed with gifts beyond your wildest imaginations, and a 60% royalty on anything you sell. Join us. This is not a cult.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
