Single People Need To Stop Being Salty AF

Just because you do not have a significant other right now does not mean you should rain on everyone else's parade.

Relationships can be complicated in a myriad of ways already.

You have someone besides yourself to think about every day. Not only do you have to deal with issues that may come up between the two of you, such as family and finances, but you also have both of your friend groups to factor in as well. In your friend groups, you may have friends who happen to be still single. Friendship dynamics will likely change when you enter a new relationship. It is an adjustment period for anyone directly associated with you.

If you happen to be single right now and you are not happy about it, do NOT, I repeat, do NOT make people who are in a relationship feel bad for not being single.

That's just a shitty thing to do. If your parent died, would you try to make your friends feel bad just because of both of their parents still being alive? I didn't think so, because that would be a horrible thing to do to anyone.

Unless your friend's significant other is doing something horrible such as cheating on them, there is no need for unsolicited input of advice from you. Let them be happy together. They do not need any of your petty bullshit. Relationships tend to happen when one least expects it.


Instead, take this time to improve yourself for when you do start a new relationship. Try to keep an open mind and not think that a potential relationship is going to end before it even begins. Do not complain about being single all the damn time, because nobody wants to deal with that. Do not talk about your ex or put them on a pedestal. Throw away all of your saltiness already.

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.
