A Reminder To The Cynics

Good people are everywhere

A Reminder To The Cynics
National Geographic Kids

Okay, yah, I'll admit sometimes I get in a zone and I think it's a hard world out there! Every man for himself! No one cares about anyone unless they benefit! But...BUT sometimes we need a reminder that isn't always the case. You'll meet a lot of people like that, like a lot a lot so watch out, but that doesn't mean the good people aren't out there. And they're everywhere too! People exist that are genuinely nice and here is your reminder of it.

Not everyone is out there trying to use or abuse you. Some people just want to brighten your day with as little as a smile or as big as baking you a cake. There's good people everywhere whether it's the people who want to actually help you learn and watch you succeed in life like teachers who you know are doing what they love as in help you because they aren't paid enough. Then there's other people like police officers and even volunteer fire fighters who risk their lives to help or save yours for a pretty low salary as well. Then there's the everyday people, the ones you see in the halls at school or the ones in the office. They'll genuinely ask you about your day because they either care or so nice they ask you out of habit of being nice. They'll ask you about that test or the report you had due. They remember the little things you seem to forget until they bring it up again. They make you feel important because you are important.

It's easy to be pessimistic, but sometimes you need to take a step back, no, a step forward and take a more narrow look at life. Look at an individual and see their goodness flowing from them from little actions for offering you a smile to holding the door for you or offering you a couple cents so the cashier doesn't have to come up with ninety five cents of cash and can just give you a full dollar back. Good people are everywhere and I feel like sometimes we all just need a reminder of that.

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.
