Open Letter to People Who Write Open Letters

Dear People Who Write Open Letters,

I know it seems counter-intuitive to write an open letter explaining why you need to stop writing your stupid open letters, I get that, but I thought it would be the best way to get your attention, considering you love these stupid articles so much.

The truth is, no one cares. People are so bogged down with all of this content that people put on the internet, that they really don’t care, and you’re worthless opinions that are back-handedly directed toward your ex-boyfriend, ex-best friend or whatever or whoever it may be, no one cares. Sure, plenty of people relate to that garbage, the number of shares don’t lie, but really, no one cares. We all get screwed over sometimes, does that mean you need to write a passive aggressive (come on, don’t lie, all open letters are passive-aggressive) letter to someone who spited you? Wow, you lived through a relatable experience. Congratulations. You had an experience that literally every other normal human being goes through, good for you. Sure its nice to know that we’re not alone in this world and our experiences are valid, but do we all need to write letters to a boy who doesn’t love us?

So, let’s get it together. Let’s stop being passive aggressive and let’s stop writing these God-awful open letters. Can we do that? Can we work toward that goal instead of spending an hour of our time writing an article to whine about some dumb boy and then share it on the internet? We’re all better than that. We do not need any more of that behavior. Stop it right now. You are better than that, and to the people sharing this trash, you are also better than that. Stop sharing it, and this trend will end.

Thank you. Please cease and desist.

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.
