An Open Thank You Letter To Pinterest

Dear Pinterest,

 

I had found you on a cold and uneventful night quite some time ago. I immediately became obsessed and I used you all the time. Now, although I’ve toned down my use a bit, there is still not a day that goes by that I do not use you.

 

You are one of the best things that has ever happened to me, and you’ve helped me with so much — come up with ideas, make me laugh, and plan for the future. There is nothing I could ever say to discredit you. So, this is me thanking you for helping me with every little problem I have had no matter how big or small.

 

First, thank you for making me laugh with all of the memes, quotes, and pictures that you have pop up on my dashboard. From books and movies to those weird little stick figures, each one is well cherished.

 

Thanks for giving me cute, quick, cheap, and D-I-Y gift ideas when I had spent weeks procrastinating and last minute had to come up with different birthday and Christmas presents for each of my friends and family. Oh! And speaking of D-I-Y, thanks for giving me all of the homemade craft and art ideas that I seem to make a huge mess of about 99 percent of the time. Mason jars are officially and forever will be my favorite items in the world.

 

Furthermore, thanks for letting me make gigantic messes with all of those recipes and meals you have given me. They never look like they do in the picture, but they always come out delicious. That’s what really matters.

 

Thanks for helping me decorate my dorm room and getting prepared for college. I was wandering around clueless, until I turned to you. Now, I am even getting ahead, so I thank you, in advance, for helping me plan my future wedding and future home. I may be a single and broke college student, but a girl can dream — right?

 

Also, thanks for being there during prom season. I would have never been able to find a dress, shoes, jewelry, and settle on what to do with my hair, makeup, and nails without being able to click on your tiny little button.

 

Afterwards, while exploring ideas for nails I came across so many nail art ideas that I always have to try. They always look perfect on my left hand and like a three-year-old did them on my right. It was a lot of fun either way. My nail polish obsession has just gotten worse, but I guess we all need something to fixate on.

 

Lastly, I would like to thank you for all the style tips. I’d probably look like a two-year-old dressed me or a slob every day if you hadn’t been around. Now, I have more clothes than I can count. I’m lucky I’m able to fit everything in my dorm armoire.

So, thank you, Pinterest, for everything. I couldn’t have done it without you.

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.
