The Reason I'm Not Able To Travel

If you have any issues, take it up with my cat.

The Reason I'm Not Able To Travel
TravelandLeisure

I don't travel much. I never did. Traveling is hard for me, not only because I'm poor and have no free time at all, but traveling is hard because I'm too attached to my cat and he gets far too paranoid for me to leave. I'm sorry.

If you can't understand, allow me to explain this a bit more for you.

As a child, I never traveled. My parents never owned a car and we lived off a fairly low income then as well. Because of our situation, we never really left the city so traveling was never a priority of mine. Sure, I love long car rides with music blasting (all the cliche best friend stuff). But, it's never really something I expected to happen or really desired. Once my cat came into my life, this all intensified much more.

When I met my cat, or as I'd like to call him, my son, he was a tiny little baby living in my backyard. Immediately, we grew a bond like no other. Anyone that sees him interact with me say they've never see a cat bond so well with a human. Before we took him into my home, I would always sneak outside and feed him food. This probably played a role in why he would never leave our yard. Eventually, he became part of the family and we took him into our home. From then on, my cat and I grew up together. He's been through almost every stage of my awkward teenage years with me, and still accepts me.

Over the years, my cat learned my daily routine. He knows when I leave for work and when I come home, and if I'm home later than I should be, he actually screams at me. No lie, my cat will sit on the coffee table and meow at me until I sit down. In actuality, my cat suffers from severe separation anxiety. It's getting pretty bad actually.

But in conclusion, I'm really sorry I'm not able to go out as much as you would like me too. I'm also sorry I'm not able to travel around with everyone as much as it's wished I would. It's not against you or anything, but my cat needs me.

If you have any issues, take it up with my cat.

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.
