The Struggles Of Being A Cat Person

You don't own your cat, your cat owns you.

The Struggles Of Being A Cat Person

In the past year, being a cat person has become more socially acceptable, and dare I say — trendy? Cats have always fallen second to their canine counterparts, but cat people around the world are finally getting the recognition they deserve. However, there still exist a very specific set of struggles that only a tried and true cat person knows.

1. Your cat runs your life.

"Look at me. Look at me. I'm the captain now." — Your Cat

2. Cats are actually furry assassins.

You don't know when or where they are lurking, but you know they are always plotting their next move.

3. Non-cat people don't understand your obsession.

"Yes I really, truly, genuinely would rather stay at home with my cat then go out ..."

4. You can't have nice things. Ever.

From that glass vase you adore to your last can of Diet Coke, cats love taking everything you love and destroying it. But what's more, you let them.

5. You can only cuddle, when they want to cuddle. No exceptions.

Cat's are the best cuddle buddies, but only when they deem it acceptable.

6. You can't quit them.

No matter how many sharp nails, judgmental stares and aggressive meows you face, you just can't find it in yourself to love cats any less.

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.
