How 'Parks and Rec' Is The Guide To Life

Happy New Year Bitches

Move on with your life.

The world is still revolving. Time is ONLY a construct of our imagination because it brings us comfort to know we have a system.

Everything is a series of systems, except for your life. So grab hold of it and be grateful you have the choice to be you.

Reality:

Stop running away from your fucking problems. Ben squared up to his dilemmas

A lot of my friends like to say that I'm the biggest people person that hates people.

You are no different.

Call me selfish or blameful but think about yourself as a person first. If you're not the best person you can be, then don't bother shitting on others for their issues.

Everyone should take a lesson from Chris

and this:

Don't set new years resolutions when you know you won't carry it through.

We don't want to hear about your half-assed 'goals'. We all have those things that never get finished.

It takes 60 days to make something a habit.

And IF YOU KNOW YOU WON'T MAKE A HABIT OF YOUR RESOLUTION, THEN DON'T DO IT!

I'm not saying everyone should be Ron Swanson but...


People are going to be people, no doubt about that. I can't do anything about it, and neither can you.

It's only the ones that really love and care about you that realize the shittiness of your existence and approach you about it.

WE'RE NOT VICTIMIZING YOU

the more you have that mentality, the more you will drive yourself away from others


Feelings exist and everyone's entitled to have feelings but it doesn't mean that one person gets to disregard the others around them just because they feel like they are being attacked by their peers.

NEWS FLASH: once you get out of your familial, friend, and college bubble:

NO ONE GIVES TWO SHITS.

that's why you gotta keep doing you and

TREAT YO SELF.

That's the current reality of the world.

Now go make your own,

AND BE YOUR OWN DUKE SILVER.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
