Dear Netflix Bingers,

It's me, the girl you can't stand. You know the one who also is a self-proclaimed binger but isn't anywhere close to the level the rest of you are on. Sure, we both started that show at the same time six months ago and I'm only just hitting season two while you are 14 seasons deep and are now watching the current up to date episodes every Thursday night at 8 p.m. while I hide under a rock avoiding social media for spoilers at all costs.

Yes, you definitely hate me. I say I'm a die hard fan of the show, same as you, and hey I am! But, I definitely pace myself. Or, you know am just slow as hell. You know sometimes I binge a few episodes in a night... sometimes I spend a whole rainy day watching hour episode after episode but then I step away.

Sometimes for a week other sometimes a few months. I have valid excuses like work, and school and a social life.. mostly though, I am just easily distracted. You can't fault me for not having the attention span to stay glued to the t.v. for more than a few days at a time! But, you do and I get it.

Just so you know though, sometimes I binge two seasons of a show just to binge four seasons of a different one and find myself going back and forth between four shows at once, perpetually never making any real progress towards finishing one show. I know I'm irritating and trust me, I'd like to step my game up but hey, I'm easily distracted and clearly multitasking is not my forte. Please don't strip me of my binging title or spoil episodes I may never reach.

Sincerely,

The Worst Binger There Ever Was

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.
