Don't Like PDA? Lucky For You, Nobody Is Forcing You To Look

Find something better to get offended by than PDA.

OK, let's be honest- nobody wants to see a couple full on swapping saliva down each other's throats and pretty much having sex with their clothes on, but what is wrong with holding hands, cuddling, and kissing?

Let me just tell you that when couples are displaying their affection, they aren't doing it so you will look. They aren't doing it to make you jealous. In fact, they're doing it to show intimacy with their partner. The last thing that couple is thinking about is what your opinion is.

Who cares if someone is holding hands with their SO? Who cares if they exchange a kiss on the lips? If you're really bothered THAT MUCH by PDA, go do something else. Don't like people posting about their SO on Instagram? Lucky for you, there's this invention that lets you unfollow someone so you don't see their posts anymore (it's the unfollow button p.s).

Saying you're bothered by people holding each other, holding hands, and cuddling makes you sound so ridiculously bitter. Do you projectile vomit when you see a couple walking around in public holding hands? (P.S. Being bothered by a couple holding hands makes me think you'll be one of those elderly people who hates to see anyone have fun)

I hold hands with my fiancè everywhere we go when we're in public. Hell, we even hold hands while we're driving. Even when we're in public, we'll occasionally give each other a peck on the lips. Do we stand there and make out and shove our tongues down each other's throats? Definitely not. There's a time and a place for that and out in public is not the time nor the place.

PDA is exactly what it stands for: public display of affection. The affection, however, isn't for you. I'm not expecting you to get excited or start jumping up and down when you see a couple kiss while you're in the park. If you're not in a relationship, you probably won't understand that it's nice for your partner to display affection like a kiss on the cheek, a hug, or cuddling or whatever the case may be.

Seriously, though, there are bigger things in the world to be bitter about. There are bigger things in the world to be jealous of. Seeing a couple display their affection is not one of them.

Please tone down your jealousy. It's annoying and gross.

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.
