I Refuse to Give a Sh*t

If we spent our days caring what everyone thought about us, we would be human.

But if we spent our days catering our every move and word in fear of that judgement, that’s giving a sh*t.

That phrase is used a lot, isn’t it? Giving a sh*t?

I say it in situations where I’m doing something that isn’t necessarily “socially acceptable” or something “my mom would be proud of,” but what does it actually mean?

I consider myself a fairly confident person but I still worry about what others think and say about me. Giving a sh*t is when you let that worry rule your actions, and I refuse to let that happen.

I refuse to give a sh*t.

It sounds funny because it’s said often times when you’re really not doing anything EXCEPT giving a sh*t, right?

Like I said before, it’s okay to think about what others think of you, as long as you don’t let that change who you are. And eating an entire Domino’s pizza is who I am.

It’s a popular phrase often used immediately after something you’ve probably wanted to do for a long time and didn’t, on account that you might be judged for it, eventually doing it anyway.

*eats an entire bag of chips* “I don’t give a sh*t."

*scratched your boob in public* “I don’t give a sh*t."

AND YOU SHOULDN’T GIVE A SH*T!

SCREW ALL THE SH*TS!

R.I.P TO ALL THE SH*TS THAT WERE ONCE GIVEN!

Giving a sh*t is stupid. Giving a sh*t is admitting that something “unacceptable” was done and frankly, if your boob itches you should absolutely scratch it.

In fact, some may argue that you should give a sh*t. You should probably give a sh*t about the people judging you and then kill them.

Yup. Kill them.

*judges you for singing along to 1D at a red light* Dead.

*judges you for wearing a Bernie Sanders sweatshirt* Dead.

Okay, so maybe murder isn’t the answer but an evil look will do just fine.

What’s more important that giving/not giving a sh*t, is the fact that other people bother to judge you in the first place.

Since when did laughing and spitting water all over the place become something to be ashamed of? I’m having a good time with my friends and laughing IS NOT something that you get to roll your eyes at.

Am I the only one that also says it while alone?

Last night as I watched Sleepless in Seattle alone and ate a pint of ice cream, I finished, looked at my reflection in the tv, sighed, and said, “I don’t give a sh*t!”

Maybe I was judging myself unknowingly and needed to remind myself to not judge, or maybe I said it for all the haters out there that were judging from the comfort of their own homes.

Do you give a sh*t? What do you give a sh*t about?

I’ll tell you, not giving a sh*t rocks.

Sure, I still worry about what other people think of me, but it doesn’t stop me from doing what I want to do and being happy with the choices I make.

You and your hater-ass can kindly back-off.

I refuse to give a sh*t and you should too. You do you, friend.

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.
