10 Reasons I'm Leaving My Hometown

Thanks Hometown, But It's Time We Broke Up
PDpics.com

I have lived in my small east coast town for 20 years. For 20 years I have lived in the same house with the same smell and the same yard. For 20 years I have walked down the streets of my neighborhood looking at the same houses, greeting the same people, walking the same route. For 20 years I have lived in a town full of people and all of us have made this same town our home. For the past 20 years I have grown far too big for tiny hometown, and because of that it’s time I moved away.

Dear hometown,

Here are 10 reasons I no longer wish to call you home.

1.Your lack of culture and diversity is enough to shock anyone.

Why does everyone like being the same?

2. The wait at Olive Garden is longer than a wait at the DMV.

"It will take an hour or so for a table"

3 hours later...

3.The amount of fast food restaurants rivals the amount of interruptions during the presidential debate.

Around the corner is McDonald's, Burger King, Sonic, Taco Bell, Chick-fil-a, Wendy's, Boston Market, Popeyes, Roy Rodgers, and a KFC.

4. Almost all of my friends have already broken up with you.

Guess it's time I moved on too.

5. People love Walmart more than Kanye loves himself.

And Kanye loves Kanye more than anything.

6. Bring you tractor to school day has more participants than a 80’s pep rally.

Yes that is a real day.

7.The Monster truck show is the biggest event of the year.

Everyone and their grandmother goes.

8. No one even knows where you are located.

You try to explain and yet they still have no idea.

9.I can’t walk on your streets at night without fearing for my life.

Just keep walking, don't make eye contact.

10. You were my home once, but it's time I said goodbye.

I loved you once, but we have to break up.

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.
