True Life: This 'Extra' Commercial Made Me Cry

Actions always speak louder than words.

Who doesn’t admire a good love story? I think it is safe to say many do, myself included. Another thing that I find to be relatable is watching a video on YouTube, then all of sudden, you are seven videos deep in something completely different from what you were originally watching. Been there, done that. Which brings me to one of the cutest commercials I have ever watched. It was an advertisement for Extra Gum. This commercial was touching, hopeful, beautifully done and so heartwarming. So much so that it actually made me cry.

For starters, the song choice could not have been more perfectly picked out. Haley Reinhart’s version of “Can’t Help Falling In Love” played thought out the video and matched the situation to a T. The commercial follows a couple, Sarah and Juan, on their journey together. It begins with the first time they laid eyes on each other to many events they endeavored as a couple. The video has no words other than the song. You never hear what the two are saying to one another. It is just their actions. To show someone that you love them means tremendously more than saying the words. Don’t get me wrong, saying it is of course important as well. However, when the love is right there in front of you to see, I believe it feels vastly stronger and more genuine. In this short commercial, there is not one doubt that these two are not in love with each other. And that is just from observation. Actions always speak louder than words, especially when it comes to love.

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.
