I Am Not Addicted To Pinterest

I am not addicted to Pinterest. Why would someone ever say that to me? Can they not hear my heart break from that brutal statement? Honestly, they have some nerve…

Just because I visit the website pretty much every single hour of every single day does not give them the right to label me like that. Everyone visits websites all the time, so I am good. No need to “pin” this sort of label on me. Wait, does using a Pinterest pun mean something? HA! Who am I kidding? That just means I’m funny and witty.

It doesn’t mean anything if I also have the app on my phone. I mean, I browse it only when I am bored. And when I have nothing to do. And pretty much all the time. But it doesn’t mean anything. People do the same thing with other apps. Also, just because I have the app right there on my front page of my phone so I can have easy access means I just want it in a certain place that is easy to access. Nothing more, nothing less.

Also, how many boards is “too many”? Forty-six isn’t too many boards right? I mean, one truly needs a board dedicated to anything that could happen in their lifetime. You have your basic boards for food, shoes, clothes, jewelry and even hair styles. But you can also go a step further and have future house/apartment dedicated boards! You have to plan for those life events, and deciding on what your future master closet in your future mansion will look like is an important decision to make. Don’t even get me started on my future wedding board: IT IS A MUST! I may not have a ring, but I am allowed to dream and plan for what the day may look like down to the color of the napkins and the type of flowers I will walk down the aisle with. That’s completely normal. Right?

I could sit there for hours just searching, looking and pinning pins I know I will need down the road. For example, how to get that stain out of my driveway or those expensive yet beautiful Christian Louboutin classic black high heels I may never own — they all need to be within my boards for me to save. Pretty much any pin that is out there is a pin that needs to be in my life.

So as you can see I am not addicted to this website. I do not have an obsession. I am just a normal college girl who happens to really, really like Pinterest. I don’t think I spend too much time browsing its neverending searches and pins of products I need in my closet or food that I need to make. I look at it as I am helping their website grow across the masses. I am just having fun and I can stop whenever I want. But I most likely will not.

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.
