Open Letter To A Spoiled Brat

Spoiled Brat,

Why are you so entitled? Through the lenses you choose to dawn, it appears as though the world and those living in it owe you anything and everything. Whenever a decision is made, it is always your opinion that decides what happens, even if the majority is not in your favor. When the simplest thing upsets you, people are made to bend over backwards just to make you happy. You seem to think that the world revolves around you and refuse to operate within its confines. This really needs to stop.

The world is a complicated and often reveals itself to be an unfair place. It does not revolve around you, nor will it ever. This is a lesson that should really be learned now, before you are thrust out on your own, and Mommy and Daddy are no longer there to cater to your every whim. Expecting everyone to bend to your mulish expression and faux pout is just shear stupidity. There are those who may fold like wet cardboard caught up in gale force winds, but the majority of the population will send you a well placed condescending look and tell you to grow up.

Nothing should be handed to you. The calloused hands of your peers will tell a story of earning what they want. While you sit with arms crossed and a demanding countenance, others are busy working to get to where they want to be. You have no right to expect things handed to you on a silver platter. It's time that this simple fact of life clawed its way through your thick skull.

Good luck with all that do,

A Concerned Citizen

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.
