Please Social Distance

The Corona Virus has taken so much from all of us but we continue to make it worse for ourselves

I want people to start listening to the precautions and stop rebelling before this gets any worse.

I don't care if Chad from Apple Pie can't go on his Spring Break trip to Hawaii. Get over it. There will be plenty more spring break trips, it's not the end of the world. Stay home and stop only thinking about yourselves.

This is a really hard time for all of us but the least we can do is stop spreading it. The more you go out and touch things, the more germs get spread. The more people you engage with, the more it spreads. Do you see a pattern?

The government is not asking for you to stay in your house for the rest of your life, it's TEMPORARY. Things are going to get better. We can make it better and guess what? It doesn't take much. You can do it from the comfort of your couch, bed or desk. It's as simple as that.

Trust and believe me, I'm mad. So much has been taken away from me because of this virus, but I'm trying my best to not be selfish. I am currently at home and have been at home for weeks.

Do I complain? Of course. Am I happy I'm not possibly infecting others? Absolutely. Am I glad to not be part of the problem? Yes.

EVERYONE needs to respect social distancing. I know it's hard and honestly a little weird but it serves a purpose. This won't last forever. One of these days the numbers will decrease, there will be a cure and we will be able to return to normal. I dream about that every single night.

But unfortunately, my dreams and many other people's dreams, are not coming true because of selfish people who think it's a huge joke. When this is all done you can be as selfish as you want, but now isn't the time. Think a little and do the right thing.

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.
