Stop Letting Celebrities Distract Us From Real Life

Celebrities are too distracting from what is really going on. Once upon a time, there was a point where the only thing American's were so concerned about was when they were going to wait for the next big phone or event to come out. When I can't even express more on how times have changed, they certainly have. I can't even wrap my head around what is even going on anymore.

With Nicki and Cardi beefing, Kanye and his controversy, and with our favorite celebrities getting engaged or divorcing I think it's about that time to say that I'm tired. Not just about these particular events but just in general. I think us as American's need to as they say 'GET IT TOGETHER!!" But let's face it; have we really ever had it together? However in this particular time it is endless to say that we should focus less on beefs and more on the important things. Celebrities' personal lives are always constantly distracting us from what we should really be focusing on. The media is especially guilty since we are in the age of social media where news can literally be found everywhere.

At the risk of sounding older, there was also once a time where you had to look at not just the television for news but you actually had to dare I say it look up information in the newspaper. Also there was a time where to even get connected to the internet required dial-up. Don't know what that is? I suggest you give it a google search and get back to me.

But anyway, back to these celebs. Don't get me wrong every once in a while I love some good gossip about some of my favs that I follow. But on a daily basis? No thank you. I simply just do not know how some people really have the time to look up every ounce of information on what is happening in the world of entertainment. Yes, I have heard before that some people have called me pop culture savvy.

That does not mean that I will make it a daily task to follow some of them each and every minute. I have more things to accomplish and worry about other than a beef between two talented MCs. Let's be real, how much longer is this 'beef' going to go on? Plus Kanye is always going to be Kanye and has been the Kanye we've known for years. By questioning and getting pissed is only going to make things worse.

By making it worse I mean making Kanye get talked about more and more. So really and truly speaking what would you rather do? Would you rather constantly continue to entertain a beef that who knows when that will be complete, or would you rather do something else useful with your time.

Listen now I know that celebrities are people too, but I would rather focus on all the goals I am trying to accomplish rather than worrying about someone that does not even know who I am. Nor do they know that I exist. Once again, this is not me saying that you should not get your daily dose of pop culture. I'm just clarifying that there are certain priorities that should come first. Let celebs live their lives.

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.
