Other People Are The Worst Part Of Life

The Inner Workings of a Cynic

Contempt and disgust, the feelings I hold towards most.

Watching your every move, judging you like the creator himself, indifferent about the feelings I host.

Rooting for the bad guy was the norm, hoping to see the fluffy ending ripped up and destroyed, like a heart being torn from one's chest.

I don't know how I got here, I didn't bother marking the path, but now I'm too far gone, there's no going back.

I try to be positive, I look for the light, as a way to illuminate these dark feelings I fight.

The blame is to be placed on no one but me; I've only had good experiences with my family.

To be a cynic doesn't mean I'm always upset, but quite the opposite; my reasons for joy just might not make sense to you yet.

To be a cynic means to root for realistic endings to movies, because this world and its inhabitants can be sh!t; just like the people who yell, "IT'S LIT!"

It's not like any of these feelings are family traits, it's upon no one to blame for this hate

Maybe I've tried to build a shell, excluding myself from the world I hate so well.

Looking at the love of my life, my muse, makes me want to change my ways, to douse this ever-burning fuse.

Seeing all the love she possesses and holds, makes me wish I wasn't so cold.

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.
