Why are you like this?

Dear Creeps,

First off, why are you like this? Why do you feel entitled to my time because I walk by or I am in your line of vision? You're not entitled to anything. I, and many other women, frequently run into you while we are working. I am clearly busy checking up on things and really don't need you to stop me to try to chat me up. I'm getting paid to do my job, not to be uncomfortable with you. Why is my very clear and concise "no" or "I'm not interested" up for debate? Last time I checked in the dictionary, which is right now, as I'm writing this, there was no other definition for no other than "used to give a negative answer or reply to a question, request, or offer." Why do I have to lie and say I have a boyfriend to get you to go away? Why do you respect a man's "claim" on me over my own wants and desires? I am a human being with full capabilities of rational thought and making my own decisions. So when I say no, I 100 percent mean it.

Seriously, why don't you listen? When I tell you a seat is taken after you ask, you don't sit down and talk to me anyway. I said this seat is taken, and I suggest you leave. It could be taken by my backpack, soon to be arriving friend, or my imaginary friend. So how about you don't take a seat. When you finally do listen to me, I'm a "bitch" or "ugly" or "fat" or "not worth your time." If this was true, you wouldn't have tried to talk to me in the first place. Honestly, you being a petulant child makes you look like a fool and makes me even more glad I said no. You assume women are shallow and vain because they don't want you and we only care about looks, money, or penis size. If you're having this many issues with women not wanting to be with you, it's probably something more than that and there is a good chance it's your fault. I suggest you take a good long look at yourself and your actions to figure out what you're actually doing wrong, like not listening. Women really love men who respect and listen to them, so that might be something new for you to try.

You will swear to me up and down that you're a nice guy. I don't need you to tell me that. I can figure out what kind of person you are on my own, and your assumption that I can't is really offensive. I'm a smart girl, and I'm pretty perceptive, so I'll let you know what I think. You're nice until you don't get your way, which is immensely manipulative and dishonest. You're all for helping me and being there for me when I'm sad, until I say I don't want to date you. Then I'm just like the others, who only go for assholes. At least the assholes are honest about them being terrible people. I suggest you take a page out of their books in that regard.

I hope you'll take my suggestions into consideration.

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.
