It's getting weird, guys.

Why People Need To Stop Sexualizing The Word 'Daddy'
The Telegraph

Can I be real for just one second? I'm not trying to judge anybody here, but the fact that somebody can call their boyfriend "daddy" makes me cringe. I would rather shove bamboo splinters under my fingernails than to hear a girl call their significant other "daddy." Here's why.

I am a full-blown daddy's girl. Anybody who knows me knows my dad is my best friend, so nine out of 10 times when my dad calls me, I'll answer the phone excitedly, "Hey daddy! How was your day?" And that should not be weird.

Listen, the real dilemma is this: the fact that "daddy" was sexualized to begin with (like why? Who started this?) makes the context of the world irreversible. Somebody will always think of that world sexually when they hear it because who could blame them? It's horrifying. Who could forget it? A "daddy joke" will always be on your Twitter feed somehow -- avoiding it is impossible.

This is my plea, though. if you're going to sexualize daddy, do you, boo, I'm not going to stop you because I can't. However, please do not judge me or other people when we call our dad's "daddy" because that's what he is. When I get married and have kids, I want my kids to be able to call there dad "daddy," because what else are they going to call him? Bro? Amigo? Homie? No. My kids will call there dad "daddy" (or dad or father) because it's tradition.

Thanks for listening.

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.
